Carlisle Road Reconstruction
Summary
Carlisle Drive is getting a full reconstruction — about 2,300 linear feet of new pavement, drainage improvements, and utility adjustments. The project stalled at 90% design after Denton County and Hickory Creek handed it back to Lake Dallas, and this $50,000 McAdams authorization finishes the plans so construction can go out to bid within a month or so. The railroad's plan to increase train speeds through the area makes the crossing coordination urgent.

Impact analysis
The city is fronting up to $50,000 now, but Denton County is expected to reimburse it in full once the interlocal agreement is finalized — and the county is expected to cover the whole project except right-of-way acquisition.
Drivers on Carlisle Drive get a smoother, safer road with better drainage, and the city avoids ongoing maintenance costs.
Neighbors along Carlisle Drive will deal with construction disruption for a while, though the city plans to keep local access open.

City Council - Oct 22, 2026
The road is finally getting rebuilt thanks to a Denton County cost-sharing deal, with DDM Construction winning the job at a bid about $1 million below the next qualified competitor. Expect a sidewalk on the south side, underground drainage, a full sewer line replacement, and construction starting around January.
City Council - Oct 8, 2026
Construction has cut cut-through traffic, which some residents like, but speeding remains a concern. The city manager reported paving delays and an Atmos damage-report form for affected residents.
