A new parking area is coming to the Oak Grove Baseball Complex in Grapevine.

City Council approved plans for the addition of 45 parking spaces in a gated area across from the baseball complex located at Grapevine Lake.

Grand Prairie-based Pavecon was awarded the contract for $275,755 during the Dec. 16 meeting. Parks and Recreation Director Chris Smith said the plan is for the work to start this winter and be done before the spring season, which starts in March.

The detail: The new parking lot will support large events at Oak Grove Baseball Complex. The gated structure will have 45 secured spots and will be used for softball and baseball events, Smith said.

The existing lake parking and natural grass area will be separated by closely spaced boulders, where outdated pipe-rail has been replaced to create a more natural theme, according to city documents.

Also on the agenda: Council approved an interlocal agreement with the city of Roanoke to provide detention services for $144,771.

Barbera’s Glam Hair Studio is relocating in Grapevine to a new location down the street from the old space, according to its website. The move is expected to be completed in early January.

What they offer: The salon specializes in coloring and offers styling and treatments, per its website. 

One more thing: BG Hair Studio does not plan to close during its transition and the new location will open Jan. 2.

Right-hand access into Terminal A is now open at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.

A news release from the airport stated the access opened Dec. 19, earlier than planned, with airport officials and project partners working on an accelerated opening ahead of the Christmas travel season.

The details: The southbound access in Terminal A will open in a temporary but near-complete condition. The southbound access will be finished in January, following the peak travel period, according to a news release.

Passengers arriving from the south are encouraged to stay in the right lane along International Parkway until guided to the new exit. Customers coming from the north entry will take the new right-hand exit from International Parkway, shared by terminals A and B.

The background: Airport officials announced July 23 that the first of three 90-day construction projects would impact arrivals to terminals along International Parkway.

Terminal B work opened Oct. 20, and the detour for Terminal A started Oct. 24.

This November, Texas voters approved 17 constitutional amendments, also known as state propositions. Here’s what’s next for some of those propositions and what they mean for Texans.

The overview: Texas voters authorized the state to spend $1 billion annually on water supply funding, totaling $20 billion over a two-decade period, through Proposition 4. Funding will flow into the Texas Water Fund, a state account created in 2023 to help finance water projects.

However, state law requires that the money does not begin moving into the water fund until September 2027, and it will not be available for grants until 2029. Until then, state agencies, water utilities and local organizations will need to plan for funding, adjust rules and processes to align with recent state laws and update Texas’ water and flood plans, according to the Texas Water Foundation.

More details: Texas homeowners were set to see expanded property tax breaks on their 2025 tax bills under Propositions 11 and 13. Four other property tax exemptions approved by voters will take effect Jan. 1.
