TODAY is the Last day to submit feedback
about Parmer Lane Changes (some happening quickly) that will affect YOU!

Click HERE to FILL OUT THE PARMER LANE SURVEY.

If you weren’t able to attend the Parmer Lane Open House, you can view the proposed changes here.

Short-Term Projects: There are a number of smaller changes being planned and some are already funded. This includes some dedicated turn lanes into neighborhoods, new dividers at intersections and some signage/light improvements.

Here is a map of the planned short-term projects. Ones that say “improvement funded” are slated to be done in the next 1-2 years.

Long-Term Projects: During the Open House, there was a new slide with the “Long-Term Improvement Recommendation” that highlighted having a one-lane highway in each direction in our area (two lanes north of 45 Toll) that “would bypass signals… by using overpasses or underpasses.” (See the image above for a schematic.)

There is no concrete timeline (we were told 10+ years), and there is no idea of what it would actually look like, where exits/entrances would be, or how putting all the through-traffic into one lane each way would be an improvement.

IMPORTANT: PROVIDE FEEDBACK
Please take a few minutes to look at plans. Then, it’s extremely important that you provide feedback to CAMPO/TxDOT. You can FILL OUT THEIR PARMER LANE SURVEY HERE through April 27.

You can also contact the people behind this study at CAMPOstudies@projectinformation.com

Having as many voices as possible is extremely important, so please take a few minutes to provide feedback.

The Milwood Neighborhood Association will be collecting Batteries, Oil, Latex Paint, Antifreeze, Styrofoam and Plastic Film (BOPA) on Saturday, April 25, 2026 from 8:30-9:30am at St. Stephen’s Baptist Church.

We must close at 9:30am or when we fill up to be able to get the materials to the City site and unloaded before they close at noon.

We will not be accepting other household hazardous wastes including: styrofoam peanuts, oil-based paint, paint thinner or stripper, cleaning chemicals, pool chemicals, pesticides. Those have to be delivered individually, though you are welcome to follow us down there and drop them off.

This event helps us to fundraise and gain members, so it is free to MNA members that are current on their $15 annual dues. Not a member? It’s easy to skip the line and join online or at the event.

If you don’t live in Milwood but would like to drop off, it will be a $10 suggested donation – ALL of which will go to Friends of Balcones Park, which works to improve our park. Bring $10 cash or pay CC at event.

We’re also looking for volunteers for our collection event. Sign up by emailing us at mnaboard@milwoodna.com. If you’re looking for a great opportunity to help serve your neighborhood, meet your neighbors, and protect the environment, come join us!

A BIG Thanks to Our Event Sponsor & Neighbor:
