A pause in construction on North Carroll Avenue and Lake Wood Drive has led the city of Southlake to consider alternatives for the project.

Deputy Chief Engineer Jeff Ginn discussed four intersection design option changes with Southlake City Council during the Nov. 4 meeting. No decision was made; rather, it provided options for council to consider.

What’s happening? The pause in construction is two-fold, according to Ginn. First was the wait time for new signal poles for phases 5 and 6 of the project near the SH 114 intersection. He also added that concerns have been raised about access to nearby businesses with the current plan.

Current situation: With construction paused, Ginn said the city initiated a median access study to reevaluate the intersection after a business owner raised concerns about access to the Landmark Office Building at 750 N. Carroll Ave.

BungeeONE will open a new location in Colleyville after closing in July, said Lisa Anderson, owner of the new location.

The gist: BungeeONE will offer low-impact, high-intensity cardio classes and strength training with dumbbells, she said. The studio also plans on adding bounce classes.

Every day for the past 25 years, at least one person has died in crashes on Texas roads. Texas officials and the families of some fatal crash victims commemorated the grim anniversary with a candlelight ceremony at the Texas Capitol on Nov. 7.

The impact: Jamie White said her 2-year-old daughter, Allie, was hit and killed by a distracted driver at Round Rock’s Old Settlers Park in September 2019.

“It only takes [a few] seconds… to kill somebody,” White said Nov. 7. “Can you imagine doing this, taking somebody's child from them, and living the rest of your life knowing that you caused that?”

Following Allie’s death, her parents launched Allie’s Way, a nonprofit aimed at ending distracted driving.

More details: TxDOT data shows that speed and impaired driving are involved in the majority of deadly crashes on Texas roads.

“These are not random events,” Texas Highway Patrol Chief Bryan Rippee said Nov. 7. “These are the results of making the wrong choices on our Texas highways."
