If you have driven around Garden Ridge Blvd or College Street in the last few months, you probably noticed lots of roads being torn up and blocked off. I thought it was upgrading of utilities like water or sewer, but my searches on the Lewisville website were useless. I had a client in this week whose home is on College and was impacted. He reported he had gotten letters from Atmos natural gas company that they are utility at work here, not the City of Lewisville. A search of the Atmos website revealed this is the Line F upgrade, mostly 6 miles along Garden Ridge Blvd.
This Atmos utility work on Garden Ridge Blvd is a minor inconvenience to clients trying to turn onto Glencairn Lane into our parking lot since they have temporarily blocked the South bound Left hand turn lane. If you go a short distance further toward Main Street, you can turn Left at two locations and perform a legal U turn, and approach us on the Northbound side of Garden Ridge Blvd. If you are driving North on Garden Ridge Blvd, it is narrowed to one lane, but it is easy to turn right onto Glencairn into our parking lot. The “back route” is to use Glencairn Lane East of us, and turn right and cut through Garden Park Shopping Center to the Jack in the Box to get to Main Street, OR turn left onto Cimarron Strip to cut over to College Street.
There are two other construction projects in our neighborhood. The Chin Baptist Church in under construction just east of us. The Chin are Christian refugees from Myanmar (Burma), many of whom have settled in Lewisville.
The third project is the old Thrift City in Garden Park Shopping Center, which has been purchased by the Lewisville Independent Sschool District to create more administration space for professional development for the school district. The scheduled completion is November 2020. We are happy to have the LISD Bolin Center and other administrative functions as neighbors.
