Carrollton City Council considers $259,518 wall contract, transit updates

The Carrollton City Council on June 23 reviewed a slate of transportation, development, and leadership items during a meeting for which minutes have not yet been published. Among the agenda items were a construction contract for a screening wall on Josey Lane, an advance funding agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) for a shared-use trail, and updates on the IH-35 Phase 2 project.

Construction contract for Josey Lane screening wall

The Council considered a $259,518.00 contract for construction of a screening wall on Josey Lane. If approved, the wall would provide visual and noise buffering along the corridor. No vote tally was available from the agenda-only posting.

Kelly Boulevard shared-use trail agreement

The agenda included an Advance Funding Agreement with TxDOT for a shared-use trail along Kelly Boulevard. The agreement would outline cost sharing and responsibilities between the city and the state for designing and building the trail, which would provide a new pedestrian and cycling connection.

IH-35 Phase 2 project update

Council members received an update on TxDOT’s IH-35 Phase 2 project, which affects the city’s transportation network. The update covered design and timeline details, but no action was taken at the June 23 meeting.

Leadership appointments

An action item on the agenda was the appointment of a Mayor Pro Tempore and a Deputy Mayor Pro Tempore for the Council. No outcome was reported because minutes are pending.

Other business

Additional items included discussion of funding requests from Metrocrest Services and an amended development agreement for Trinity Mills Station Office I. The funding requests from the nonprofit social service agency were listed for discussion, and the development agreement amendment would modify terms for an office project near the Trinity Mills station.
