In a nutshell
Lewisville City Council members unanimously voted to adopt the Business 121 Corridor Plan during a Jan. 27 meeting. The plan includes 12 goals with actionable strategies to improve mobility and economic vitality along the 8.4-mile stretch of road through Lewisville, according to a staff report.
Council’s action caps an initiative that started in July 2023 when the city hired Halff Associates to develop the plan. The final version presented to council includes 72 actionable items related to three themes, Planning Manager Michele Berry said.
After council action, staff will begin working on implementing the plan’s action items, Berry said.
“We’re getting a key group together to work on implementing this plan so that we can start to see some of this work come to fruition,” she said.
The details
A copy of the Business 121 Corridor Plan can be accessed on the Jan. 27 meeting agenda. The plan includes four chapters that break down a vision, concept plan and strategies for the corridor, Berry said.
All goals and actionable items are related to three key themes:
- Mobility
- Quality of place
- Economic vitality
Actionable items are separated across 12 goals and include time frames and expected costs, Berry said. Some items are bolded in the plan because they were identified as priorities by members of the Corridor Advisory Committee, City Council, and Planning and Zoning Commission, she said.
Quote of note
Before voting, Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Ronni Cade said the plan has been several years in the making. She said she was proud of the city staff and citizens for their efforts in helping to complete the plan.
“I’m ready to get this ball rolling,” she said of the plan.
