Grand Prairie’s Budget Season Is Here. What Roads Need Attention?

Grand Prairie’s Budget Season Is Here. What Roads Need Attention?
Marketta Nimo Listens To GP: Budget Season

Every Grand Prairie driver has a road they’d like to see improved.

Whether it’s a street with rough pavement, an intersection that backs up every afternoon or an area that needs better sidewalks, now is the time to speak up.

The City Council will begin working on the next fiscal year’s budget over the coming months before adopting it this fall. During that process, council members will decide how to prioritize funding for roads, public safety, parks, utilities and other city services.

The current budget includes more than $527 million in spending across all city funds, with about $200 million supporting General Fund operations.

While many major street projects are funded through the city’s Capital Improvement Program, resident feedback helps elected officials understand where people see the greatest needs.

So, let’s hear it.

If you could move one road project to the top of the list, what would it be?

  • Which street needs repairs?
  • Where is traffic the worst?
  • Are there intersections that feel unsafe?
  • Would more sidewalks make your neighborhood better?

Leave a comment below and tell us what you’d like to see included in Grand Prairie’s next budget. Your idea may help shape the conversation before the City Council adopts the budget later this year.
