QUESTIONS COMMENTS
It is nice to see the City of Southlake being proactive about sidewalks. Kudos on the
STEP grant.
Are sidewalks planned for Union Church? It is currently unsafe for kids getting off
the bus and walking on the street.
o Most of that section is pending sidewalk construction in conjunction with the
development of Watermere, however, those segments have been identified
on our Southlake 2025 Plan for sidewalk construction and will be reviewed
again soon as a component of our Southlake 2030 Plan.
We would like to see sidewalks connecting to parks on both sides. Specifically, North
Park and Liberty Park at Sheltonwood.
Is the Neighborhood Match Program still in effect? How can we go about getting
considered for a 200' strip along a retention pond at Ridgewood on Johnson? It is
HOA property.
o Yes, the Neighborhood Match Program is available for consideration by our
City Council. The application form is available on our City website. We would
be happy to assist you with the process and have your application presented
at the same time we present the priority list on December 7 th
What is the timing for sidewalks on FM 1709?
o Due to the requirements for an environmental study that come with getting
the STEP grant or any federal grant, it will take at least a year, however, the
decel lane project is anticipated to begin soon since it is in conjunction with
the construction of medians which are in progress.
