At the March 19 council meeting, members voted to table a request pertaining to changing the master thoroughfare plan for a portion of Silveron Boulevard.

The request was to change a section from 400 feet northeast of Long Prairie Road to 500 feet from the Tarrant/Denton county line from a four-lane urban minor arterial to a two-lane urban minor arterial with angled or parallel parking.

Both the transportation commission and the planning and zoning commission denied the change.

The request spurs from the town knowing that the road will more than likely be surrounded by two mixed-use developments: The Point, which was approved in December, and a future development that will come before council this year.

Council members agreed they wanted more information on the impact of changing the road as well as renderings or drawings showing what the road would look like with angled or parallel parking.

“It would help people understand what we’re trying to do,” Council Member Claudio Forest said. “[We are] trying to create a sense of place to be able to have cross activity between the two developments and make it easier for people to cross the road [and] slow down traffic.”
