City mulls three areas for 2012 street rehabilitation projects

Streets in three Colleyville neighborhoods may soon be getting a fix-up.

The Colleyville City Council during its March 6 work session discussed street rehabilitation projects in Woodbriar Estates West, Woodland Hills and Crossing at Colleyville, which city staff recommended for repair based on data from pavement surface conditions throughout the city and the city's 2008 street capital improvement program report.

"We are trying to preserve and protect our neighborhoods," said Bob Lowry, director of the city's Public Works Department. "The Woodbriar Estates and the Crossing at Colleyville, from our analysis, are the two subdivisions that probably have the worst streets in the residential neighborhoods in general."

Plans include fixing portions of streets by sealing surface cracks on existing roads with less wear and tear, or reconstructing pavement for existing roads in bad condition. The street rehabilitation projects are estimated to cost less than $1 million. Colleyville staff is working with the City of Arlington on an interlocal agreement for construction materials. City staff were scheduled to bring the agreement to the council for approval on March 20.
