Dear Light Farms Residents,

As you may know, Collin County Municipal District No.1 (CCMUD1), implemented an annual tree replacement and landscaping enhancement program this budget year. The goal of this program is to replace as many trees and shrubs as possible on a recurring and annual basis to mitigate the losses experienced over the last few years. The severe winter weather events, followed by summer droughts, coupled with well and irrigation related issues, have resulted in the loss of many trees and shrubs throughout the neighborhood. The amount of funds allocated towards this program this year was $200,000.00. To date, GOLD Landscaping has replaced 52 new trees. Round two of the program will include planting of another 50-60 trees in the coming weeks.

The next major project for the district will be an erosion mitigation program to address the many acres of erosion happening in the greenbelts and areas around the ponds and tributaries. This upcoming project is expected to have a significant financial impact to the budget and will require a multidisciplinary team of engineers, landscape architects, and other consultants to evaluate, design, and implement solutions. On-site assessments of the most troublesome areas along Bridgewater, Ellington, Hudson, Vermillion, and Wimberley have already begun. Depending on the total cost associated with this project, it may require the District to begin the mitigation work in phases, based on priority, and addressing the most problematic areas first. The CCMUD1 directors appreciate your patience as they and their consultants work through these ongoing projects. Your board of directors pledge to keep residents informed, not only as to the costs involved but the progress that is being made along the way.

Light Farms residents,

At the last scheduled board meeting for Collin County MUD 1 on Wednesday April 24, 2024, the Board of Directors approved a contract with Lee Engineering to evaluate the traffic control devices and markings within Light Farms. The evaluation will focus on intersection controls and pedestrian crossings to ensure compliance with the Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). The MUTCD provides guidance to local governments regarding signs and markings within public Right-of-way locations.
