Street Maintenance Projects Begin Fall 2022: Phase 1

This year’s street maintenance program is being designed in two phases. Phase 1 of the program will begin this fall and includes the maintenance and resurfacing of portions of Yellow Jacket, Third Street, Turner Street, Oran Avenue, Nolan River Road, Peacock Street, Willow Creek Road, and Holloway Street. Approximately 4.65 miles of streets will be resurfaced with this initial phase.

Phase 2 will address utility renewals (water and wastewater lines) and associated street work. This phase will include portions of Anglin Street, Euclid Street, George Street, Wilhite Street, Whitenack Street, Wilson Street, and Kouns Street.

Since 2019, approximately 26 miles of roadways - 60 streets - have been resurfaced. The reinvestment in our street network totals over $10 million.

Funding is included in the proposed Fiscal Year 2023 budget that will continue the investment into the street network.

City Council to consider adopting a Redistricting Plan

The Cleburne City Council is scheduled to consider adoption of a new redistricting plan at the next regular meeting on Tuesday, August 23, 2022, at 5:00pm in the City Hall Council Chambers, 10 N. Robinson St.

An opportunity for the public to offer comments and/or present proposed plans, in accordance with the adopted guidelines, was provided at a public hearing held on July 26. Following the Council’s drawing session on July 7, discussion at the July 26 public hearing, and minor clean-up adjustments, the Council will be presented with a couple of plans to consider before adopting a final council district plan. The adopted plan is based on demographic data provided in the 2020 US Census and complies with federal and state law, with the purpose of balancing the four council districts with less than a 10% deviation in voting population.

For questions, please call the City Secretary’s Office 817-645-0908, or for more redistricting resources, visit the city’s website.
