White’s Chapel Methodist Church's expansion plans approved by Southlake council

For the second time in three months, Southlake City Council approved expansion plans for White’s Chapel Methodist Church.

At the Feb. 3 meeting, Brent Kline of architecture firm Kline Hardin, on behalf of the church, requested a zoning change and concept/site plan approval for the property at 185 S. White Chapel Blvd.

The plans call for the construction of a youth activity center and expansion to Education Building B, according to the presentation.

The details: Phase 1 of the project includes a two-story addition to the Youth Activity Center, with 17,337 square feet added on the north side of the existing Children’s Education Building.

The second phase of the construction would be a new foundry space designed for contemporary worship services, seating approximately 578 occupants.

Also on the agenda: During the consent agenda, the March 17 City Council meeting was canceled due to spring break for Carroll ISD students and families.

Toys R Us relocates within Grapevine Mills

Toys R Us has reopened in a new location at Grapevine Mills.

The details: The toy store is now next door to its previous location, inside the former Dickies Clearance Store. That business closed on Nov. 24, according to previous reporting.

Terminal E flyover bridge replacement at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport to finish in 2027

The Dallas Fort Worth International Airport board approved an increase for a contract to add the replacement of the flyover bridge into Terminal E.

During the Feb. 5 meeting, Phase 2 of the International Parkway Bridges was approved for an additional $136.1 million for the flyover replacement. It is part of the ongoing $12 billion DFW Forward capital plan, which is expanding and modernizing the airport that celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2024.

What's happening: Replacement of the existing left-hand exit flyover bridges into terminals A and B occurred in 2025, and work is currently ongoing for Terminal C flyover bridge replacement. Those three terminals along with Terminal E are the four original buildings and roadways that opened in 1974.

The Terminal E flyover bridge is at the end of life, and the location conflicts with the planned Terminal F ticketing and parking garage.

What else? A contract with Passur Aerospace of Orlando, Florida, was increased by $221,377 to $2.51 million and extended to March 4, 2027.
