Summary
The City Council voted 6-0 to adopt Ordinance No. 2025-11 establishing a 40 mph speed limit on Enterprise Boulevard (southbound) from the northern city limits to Farm to Market Road 2063 (Sun Valley Boulevard).
The Hewitt City Council on Tuesday adopted Ordinance No. 2025-11 to set a 40 mph speed zone on Enterprise Boulevard southbound from the city's northern limits to Farm to Market Road 2063 (Sun Valley Boulevard).
City staff described growing development along the I-35 corridor and increased turning and access movements as the reason to lower the posted speed. Mr. Thomas told council that traffic patterns and recent development near Alliance and Tech Stock prompted the recommended reduction and that the change was “in the interest of traffic safety in that particular area.”
Council member Mr. McKelley moved to adopt Ordinance No. 2025-11; Mr. Potter seconded. The clerk called the roll and announced the motion carried 6 to 0.
A council member noted some mixed reaction to the Police Department's social-media post about speed changes; other council members said the stretch is not long and that the change was appropriate for the area's evolving development.
The ordinance record in the packet includes standard severability and penalty language and provides an effective date determined at the meeting.
