Hello Friends!
*** Don't forget to set your clocks 1 hour ahead to "spring forward" tonight (Saturday, 3/12/22)! ***
I hope everyone is doing well! I want to make y'all aware of a resource for updates and news for the city here: https://www.waxahachie.com/newslist.php They try to post most things like traffic closures, etc. Also, if you are on Facebook, I highly recommend following the City's official page. There is a ton of current information pushed out to the residents that way (even more than the city's website). Their page can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/CityOfWaxahachie.
If you live off Broadhead Rd., please be aware of the following: Please note that starting MONDAY MARCH 14, contractors will be switching two lane traffic over to the east side of Broadhead Road from US 287 to about April Lane in order to finish up on the pavers replacement project. The work is scheduled from 7am to 5pm Monday-Friday and possibly some Saturdays. Expect some delay and contact us at 469-309-4300 or email publicworks@waxahachie.com with any questions or concerns. We appreciate your cooperation and apologize for any inconveniences.
There are a lot of meetings for this upcoming week, so I'll get started; but please be aware of the city's calendar on the website which will be updated if any other meetings are added after this newsletter goes out. The link for that is: https://www.waxahachie.com/calendar.php
