A road closure, road stabilization and an interlocal agreement were all approved during the Fort Worth City Council meeting Dec. 9.

What happened: A portion of Exposition Way, between Ellison Street and Mirage Way, needs repair, but road repairs for the area in Council District 4 are not feasible without addressing another issue, according to council documents.

Council reallocated $600,000 for the Exposition Way stabilization project and acquired an easement from the Heritage Homeowners Association, Inc. for the project. According to council documents, the money will address the erosion, slope failure and drainage improvements to reduce runoff. After that is completed, the road repairs will be addressed.

What else? A reclamation and asphalt overlay will happen on the southbound lane on Old Denton Road from Waterfall Drive to Bella Lago Drive.

One more thing: Wyndrook Street, between Ray White Road and Crowne Pointe Lane, will be closed until March 14. The closure started Dec. 1, according to city documents.

A recent merge between a Keller barbeque joint, Outpost 36, and a traditional grill house, Horizon 76, has created a unique dining experience where customers can choose between counter or table service.

A new chapter: While the merge officially happened in October, the newly minted 76 Steakroom held its grand opening Nov. 6.

“It’s just taking two different back rooms, going from an only counter service [restaurant] to table service,” Outpost 36 and Horizon 76 owner Chris Polk said. “It’s a different beast, so we’re having to change things weekly to see what’s best.”

Staying local: Photographs that decorate the new steak room were taken at Polk’s ranch. He said some of the meats sold at the restaurant's on-site meat market, Outpost 76, also come from his ranch.

Dallas Fort Worth International Airport announced a request for proposal to add 14 new retail and dining locations in multiple terminals.

According to a news release, the airport concession program seeks local brands and flavors that represent North Texas tastes, character and creativity. The request for proposal is open through Feb. 2 for 11 food and beverage locations, and three specialty retail stores.

What they’re saying: “As we build new gates, reimagine existing spaces and construct a new Terminal F, DFW Airport is committed to showcasing our region through our shops and restaurants so that when people travel through our terminals, there’s no denying they have arrived in the heart of Dallas and Fort Worth,” said Ken Buchanan, DFW’s chief revenue officer.

The details: The concepts for food range from fast-food, fast-casual, grab-and-go concepts to frozen treats, popcorn, cosmetic and specialty retail, according to a news release. The locations will be in terminals A, B, E and F.

Central Texas counties could begin receiving up to $1.25 million each in state funding for flood warning sirens in the coming weeks and months, officials announced Dec. 16.

The overview: The funding comes less than six months after historic flooding hit parts of Central and West Texas over the July 4 weekend, killing at least 137 residents and visitors. During special legislative sessions this summer, state lawmakers approved requirements that 30 counties included in a July disaster declaration install flood warning systems with the help of $50 million in state grants.

Zooming in: Each county is expected to receive up to $1.25 million from the Texas Water Development Board. Counties seeking more money will need their requests approved by the three-member board.

Counties are required to submit detailed project plans to the TWDB and can use the grants to install physical infrastructure such as sirens, rain gauges, flood gauges and solar panels to power the warning systems. The money can also be used for local flood education, outreach and training programs, TWDB staff said.
