This project is estimated to be completed in September 2026, and includes the following improvements:

• Construction of new concrete sidewalks along Brown Boulevard with ADA-compliant pedestrian ramps.
• Construction of retaining walls where needed to support the sidewalk and adjacent grades.
• Replacement of an existing culvert headwall along the sidewalk route between Summer Tree Circle and Summer Tree Lane.
• Perform Mill & Overlay of the existing Brown Boulevard pavement to provide a new driving surface.
• Replacement of deficient driveways, curb and gutter, and pavement markings to match the new pavement and sidewalks.

This project is part of the City’s efforts to improve accessibility in Arlington for residents and visitors.

This project involves the construction of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant sidewalks and pedestrian curb ramps along both sides of Brown Boulevard from North Collins Street to Hidden Ridge Drive. Additionally, the project includes the removal and replacement of an existing drainage box culvert headwall located on the north side of Brown Boulevard between Summer Creek Circle and Summer Creek Lake. These improvements are intended to enhance pedestrian connectivity, safety, and accessibility along the project corridor. The installation of ADA-compliant ramps and continuous sidewalks will improve compliance with federal accessibility standards while supporting the City’s broader pedestrian mobility, and walkability initiatives.

The project also includes asphalt milling and overlaying and miscellaneous concrete repairs on Brown Boulevard. The asphalt milling and overlay process removes two inches of existing asphalt pavement, repairs road base failures, and resurfaces the roadway with a new two-inch asphalt surface course. Miscellaneous concrete repairs include removal and replacement of dilapidated curb and gutter and driveway approaches.

Funding for this project was included in the voter-approved 2018 Bond Election. Funding sources are the Street Bond Fund and the Street Maintenance Sales Tax Fund. This project aligns with the Council Priorities to Enhance Mobility.

Residents interested in learning more about this project are invited to participate in a public meeting on Thursday, April 30, 2026, at 6 p.m. in the [re] brary Room A & B, at the George W. Hawkes Downtown Library, located at 100 S. Center Street, Arlington, Texas 76010. There will be a short presentation followed by a question-and-answer session.

The purpose of this meeting is to provide information and answer questions you may have about construction. There will be a short presentation detailing the scope of the project followed by an opportunity to ask questions about the project and how this project will benefit the Arlington community.

During fiscal year 2025, Arlington has invested approximately $1.4 million on Sidewalk Improvements under the Capital Improvements Program, which includes Sidewalks, ADA Compliant Curb Ramps and Pavements Markings.
