Town to purchase Windsor property

At the Town Council meeting last Monday, the Council authorized the purchase of the property for the West Windsor extension from Mr Shu. The Town has begun planning the design of the roadway, which according to the Mayor, will be a curving road with landscaping, a traffic circle and bike trails along the road. The extension would not connect to Pecan Acres and Wellington. While I would prefer the extension not be built at all, this plan is certainly preferrable to any plan that would cram more housing along a straight connection to FM 2499.

At the candidates forum last night, two candidates - Bob Butler, Place 3 and Tom Hayden, Place 5 - pledged that they would not approve funding for the West Windsor extension. Regardless of your position on the West Windsor extension, I would encourage everyone to vote in the Town Council election on May 9th. This election will replace 3 of the 5 members of the Town Council. With the rapid changes occurring in Flower Mound, it is important to have the right people representing us on the Council.
