The Haslet City Council Workshop held on September 17, 2025, focused on several critical infrastructure projects, with significant discussions surrounding the Haslet Parkway project and its current status.
City officials reviewed the ongoing developments related to the Haslet Parkway, which is designed to enhance connectivity in the area. The project, originally intended to extend through Schoolhouse Road, currently terminates at Station 69. City representatives expressed concerns regarding the readiness of the project for acceptance, highlighting issues such as unaddressed construction materials and access to essential utilities like water and sewer lines.
During the meeting, officials emphasized the importance of adhering to project specifications to ensure that the city can maintain and operate the infrastructure effectively. The city has not yet accepted the project, citing that it must meet specific standards before ownership and maintenance responsibilities can be transferred. A letter of substantial completion was issued, indicating that while some aspects of the project are complete, numerous items still require rectification.
The discussions also touched on the need for collaboration with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to resolve outstanding issues and ensure that the project aligns with the city's development goals. City officials underscored the urgency of addressing these matters, given the ongoing demand for infrastructure improvements in Haslet.
As the workshop progressed, the council aimed to cover multiple projects, indicating a proactive approach to managing the city's growth and infrastructure needs. The meeting concluded with a commitment to continue working closely with TxDOT and project engineers to ensure that the Haslet Parkway meets the necessary standards for acceptance and functionality.
