Senior Planner David Powell from City of Allen · 8 Nov Thank you for all of those who volunteered for the Cottonwood Bend workday event this past Saturday, November 6th! Your efforts contributed to enhancements throughout the neighborhood and in particular the entryway features at Hightrail Dr. and Jupiter Rd. Volunteers assisted with landscaping, right-of-way (ROW) cleanup, and litter cleanup with over 25 Cottonwood residents in attendance! We are excited to see new plantings within each landscape bed; maintenance of trees and shrubs along Cottonwood Bend’s ROW areas; and litter pickup across the neighborhood. This completes the second phase of the pilot project which leaves us with our last phase of upgrading the signage at each entryway, in addition, the entryways along Bethany Rd. Signage is expected to be installed in the coming weeks. Once signage has been updated, we will send before and after pictures of the Hightrail Dr. entrance.

Senior Planner David Powell from City of Allen · 2 Nov We are happy to announce that the brick repairs on each entryway wall on Hightrail Dr. and Jupiter Rd. has been completed by our contractor. They replaced all brick along the top levels of each terrace and acid washed each wall. With these repairs, it will help replace all weatherized bricking along the tops of each terrace as well as enhance the overall outlook of the entryway features. Soon after the repairs were made, we transitioned into our next phase of the project which will be upgrading the landscape features at each entryway wall. Our Parks and Recreation Department was out today testing all sprinkler heads and installing new heads to ensure long term sustainability of existing water features. This will allow for continual maintenance of plant choices that volunteers will be installing on our Workday this Saturday, November 6th.
