Railroad Crossing on Mid-Cities to be Improved;
Watch for Lane Closures Over Next 8 Weeks
Motorists on Mid-Cities Boulevard can expect lane closures and delays starting Monday, March 27, 2017 while contractors make improvements to the railroad crossing. Traffic will be reduced to one or two lanes in each direction during the project, which is anticipated to last for 8 weeks. Motorists are asked to slow down and watch for workers in this area.
The improvements to the railroad crossing are part of the TexRail service that will extend from downtown Fort Worth to North Richland Hills, Grapevine and DFW Airport. The section of the Cottonbelt Trail at Mid-Cities will not be impacted by the work at the railroad crossing and will remain open to cyclists, runners and walkers.

Spring Community Cleanup is April 8
The City of North Richland Hills reminds you that old furniture, appliances, car parts, tires, tree limbs, scrap metal, building materials and other discarded items should not be stored in your yard or driveway. It is not only unattractive, it can become a breeding ground for insects and rodents and a safety hazard. Please be a good neighbor and chunk your junk!
If you have bulky items cluttering your property, you can get rid of them at the Spring Community Cleanup on Saturday, April 8, 2017. Items can be dropped off from 9:00 a.m. to noon in the parking lot of NRH2O Family Water Park. Proof of residency (driver's license or water bill) must be presented. Goodwill will be on site collecting donations. Paper shredding will also be available. See a list of what will and won't be accepted during the cleanup event on
our website.
