Public Works, Engineering projects underway
Several projects to improve the city’s roads, sidewalks, and infrastructure are in the works.

City staff presented an update on current Public Works and Engineering projects to the City Council at the Nov. 12 meeting.

Commercial Truck Route
The city is working with TxDOT to reduce truck traffic from Business 67 by establishing a truck route along Main Street. This would not affect trucks doing business in Cleburne but it would reduce vehicle congestion and noise pollution while increasing downtown’s vitality.

US 67 Speed Limit Study
The city is coordinating with TxDOT to make the speed limit along US 67 consistent. The state is currently performing a speed study.

East Side Drainage Study
Work continues on creating a study to better understand and recommend projects to improve drainage in East Cleburne. The contractor has completed surveying the area and is in the process of televising the existing drainage network.
Shop local this holiday season, support Cleburne businesses
Spending your money on Cleburne businesses is the ultimate cashback reward. This holiday season the City of Cleburne is encouraging the community to shop and dine local.

Shopping local creates new jobs, encourages area businesses, and promotes a strong local economy. Those sales tax dollars help improve our roads, keep our parks beautiful, and support our public safety departments.
