“The design features will not only look better, but they also will increase safety," Councilmember Debbie Anderson said.
MESQUITE, Texas — The Mesquite City Council approved a contract with Zachry Construction Corp. to reconstruct Faithon P. Lucas Sr., Boulevard, according to a city release.
City officials said the roadway will be realigned and reconstructed from the existing two-lane section to a four-lane divided section from McKenzie Road to East Cartwright Road. The design will also include a 12-foot hike and bike trail along the north side of the roadway that connects to the city’s master trail system and a roundabout connecting to the future Solterra master-planned residential development.

This weather has been so crazy lately, but I was sure fortunate again this evening! I was planning on doing my standard loop, but turning left on Hein Rd. Since the forecast called for a “ chance” of thunderstorms (to keep the meteorologists safe), I checked the radar app while I took a photo of The Old #9 on Hein. It certainly got my attention as there were big thunderstorms directly north and west of me. I decided to play it safe and turn around by heading back south via Blaschke Rd and Hwy 289. The counterclockwise rotation of the storm gave me a tailwind in both directions, which hardly ever happens but was very nice! As always, I am most thankful to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for saving me both physically and spiritually, allowing me to return to this sport that I love, and for yet another safe ride, without any mechanicals or flats.
