Colleyville City Council David Kelly[/caption]

Big decisions made in 2015



  • Water rate changes
    To ensure the longevity of the city’s water and wastewater system, City Council approved a new rate structure in July that includes an increase in base rates for water and wastewater services for the next four years.

  • Glade Road reconstruction
    In the May election, voters rejected a petition related to limiting the scope of reconstructing Glade Road. Since then the council has moved ahead with the design phases for the road project.

  • Destination Colleyville
    In December the council approved a controversial update to the city’s comprehensive plan, Destination Colleyville. The plan went through three public hearings and received opposition from hundreds of residents.


Top issues for 2016



  • SH 26 reconstruction
    The road will be reconstructed to six lanes from John McCain Road to Brown Trail. The construction is expected to cause problems for some business owners. The city plans to work with business owners along SH 26.

  • Gateways
    The updated comprehensive plan establishes a northern and southern gateway for the city. City officials said they have already had interest from developers to build at the northern entrance to the city.

  • May elections
    In May residents will have an opportunity to cast their vote in the citywide election to elect the mayor, Place 1 council member and Place 2 council member. The election will be held May 7.
