About

At its August 11 meeting, the City Council approved a resolution authorizing the Town to serve as its own agent for TxDOT grants associated with Phase II of the Taxiway Bravo Extension at Addison Airport. Previously, TxDOT served as the Town’s agent for federal and state airport grants, but TxDOT is transitioning qualified airports to a model where they administer their own grants while remaining subject to TxDOT oversight.

Taxiway Bravo is a partial parallel taxiway used by aircraft to travel on the ground to and from Addison Airport’s single runway. Phase II will extend Taxiway Bravo north to the end of the runway and add two new connections between the taxiway and runway. The project also includes improvements to ground vehicle circulation, taxiway lighting, and navigational systems.

The project is estimated at $10.2 million, with Addison seeking reimbursement for at least 90% of eligible costs through TxDOT grants. The Town’s estimated local share is approximately $1 million, funded entirely through the Airport Enterprise Fund with no anticipated impact to the General Fund or Town debt service.

At its July 28 meeting, the City Council adopted the 2026 Master Transportation Plan, updating the Town’s long-range transportation roadmap to reflect completed projects, current needs, and future growth. The plan will guide future investments to improve roadway safety, pedestrian and bicycle connectivity, traffic flow, and mobility throughout Addison.

The updated plan provides a framework for evaluating future transportation improvements and establishes long-term priorities for streets, sidewalks, trails, traffic calming, and multimodal transportation. It also incorporates recent projects, including the completion of the DART Silver Line, and updates the Town’s active transportation network and pedestrian planning tools.

At its July 14 meeting, the City Council approved Addison’s Wayfinding and Signage Master Plan, creating a long-term roadmap for gateway monuments and directional signage throughout the community. Designed to improve navigation while reinforcing Addison’s identity, the plan will help residents and visitors more easily find destinations while creating a consistent look and feel across Town.

The master plan was developed with input from residents, including feedback gathered at the Spring 2025 Town Meeting, and will guide implementation over the next 10 to 20 years. The first phase of the project is funded in the FY26 budget, with installation expected to begin as the program moves forward.
