Council approves multi-phase TxDOT corridor beautification plan managed by EDC
Summary
Council adopted a resolution to authorize work on phased corridor beautification in coordination with TxDOT, funded and maintained through the Economic Development Corporation and implemented using durable, drought-tolerant landscaping materials.
Staff presented a multi-phase corridor beautification proposal intended to improve the city’s main corridors and first impressions for visitors and potential investors. The proposal would partner with TxDOT and place maintenance responsibility on the Economic Development Corporation and a contracted maintenance provider in order to avoid burdening private property owners or existing city staff.
The staff presentation noted the design emphasizes low-maintenance materials, drought-tolerant plants and limited irrigation to keep long-term costs down. Council members discussed priorities for phasing (2027–2032 timeline) and confirmed the city has undertaken maintenance in areas where state responsibility was uncertain. The council adopted Resolution 2026-13 by voice vote to move forward with the project and additional resolutions and amendments will come back to council as the plan advances.
