Haslet officials announce opening of Hassett Parkway extension and new commercial developments

A major infrastructure update took center stage at the Haslet City Council meeting on May 5, 2025, with significant developments in road construction and public safety enhancements. The council announced that the Hassett Parkway project is nearing completion, with plans to open the section from Intermodal Parkway to Station 69 to public travel by mid to late summer. This new roadway will provide vital access for residents, connecting Sweetgrass Boulevard and easing traffic congestion on Blue Mound Road.

Mayor Halsey raised concerns about the status of Harmon Road, which remains closed in both directions due to ongoing reconstruction. The timeline for its reopening is uncertain, as it is contingent on future development projects.

In another highlight, the council celebrated the recent opening of the Keller-Hassett Road Extension, which now features a stop sign instead of traffic signals, following directives from TxDOT. However, after community feedback, TxDOT has committed to installing traffic signals within three months, addressing safety concerns for the increased traffic flow.

The meeting also covered updates on the Fire Station Expansion Project, which is on schedule for completion later this summer, and a variety of commercial developments in the city, including new office buildings and a fast-food restaurant. The council is actively working with developers to enhance the city’s infrastructure and commercial landscape, promising a vibrant future for Haslet.

As these projects progress, residents can expect improved connectivity and safety, marking a significant step forward for the growing community.
