Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Texarkana public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Removal of W. 14th/Olive traffic signal
The signal at West 14th and Olive no longer meets state warrants and is being replaced with two-way stops on Olive Street.
Airport Runway Overlay Change Order
The airport runway project got a thicker surface — an extra inch of asphalt — within the already-approved $16.86 million contract ceiling.
Runway 4-22 extension project
The council approved a bundle of airport items covering the Runway 4-22 extension and overlay: a $15.79 million construction contract with Tatum Excavating, engineering administration agreements, and securing up to $20.8 million in federal funding. It's largely grant-funded and keeps the regional airport growing.
