Atmos Energy has closed the north side of Glenview to replace a 16-inch gas pipeline beneath the roadway. Following the utility improvements, the city's long-awaited reconstruction of Glenview Drive will begin.

Atmos has indicated that the pipeline project will be completed in 2 phases - the first between Boulevard 26 and Vance and the second between Vance and Chapel Park Drive. The pipeline project is expected to take about 4 months to complete. Additional gas pipeline work will also be performed west of Rufe Snow, but will be less extensive. Coordination of this work immediately prior to the city's roadway project serves both Atmos and the city by significantly reducing the need for disruptive maintenance or repair of aging underground facilities once the new pavement is in place.

After Atmos completes the pipeline work, Glenview will be reconstructed from Boulevard 26 to Flory Street and from Honey Lane to the western city limit. The existing asphalt roadway will be replaced with reinforced concrete pavement. Sidewalks will be reconstructed and added where they are currently missing. Funding for the reconstruction of Glenview is part of the city's Street Bond Program and Tarrant County's 2021 Transportation Bond.

Motorists should expect delays on Glenview Drive and seek alternate routes when possible. Please slow down and watch for workers if you must travel in this area.

'Round the Town with Oscar Kicks Off 10^th Season

Join Mayor Trevino in celebrating the 10th anniversary season of the 'Round the Town with Oscar! Since the Mayor's monthly bike rides began in 2013, we’ve logged more than 600 miles on the monthly rides and been joined by more than 4,500 participants. This year, we are adding a walk option at the same time and site as the bike ride.

The first ride and walk in 2023 will take place on Tuesday, April 4 starting at 6 p.m. in the parking lot at NRH2O Family Water Park, 9001 Boulevard 26. The monthly rides and walks are open to all ages. Riders should bring their own water bottles; and helmets are required. The route varies each month and will range from 9 to 13 miles for the rides and 1 to 2 miles for the walks.

'Round the Town with Oscar is a great opportunity to get outdoors, enjoy the city's trail system, visit with Mayor Trevino and other city leaders and meet new people. You can learn more and view the 2023 schedule at www.nrhtx.com/roundthetown.
