Community members raised concerns and asked questions Monday to city leaders about plans to expand Old Middleburg Road from 103rd Street to Argyle Forest Boulevard.
The city wants to expand the road into four lanes with medians and ponds in certain areas. Westside residents were hopeful that newly-elected District 14 Councilman Rahman Johnson would be the one to get the project completed as they say they’ve been hearing about the proposed plans for years.Johnson said this project is something the district needs while the community said it’s something that has taken too long to get done.
Johnson said other city leaders at the meeting said they plan to do the project in two phases with phase one set to begin as soon as January 2024. Community members complained that the city has been promising to start this project for years and shared their concerns about the Old Middleburg Road intersection.
