HomeMy WebLinkAbout2026-08The Animal Services Facility at 1517 Westpark Way has undergone a year-long renovation and expansion to better serve the community. Originally constructed in 1978 as a Fleet Service Center, the building was repurposed in 1998 as a fire station. In 2025, Fire Station No. 2 was relocated to a newly constructed facility at 2301 West Pipeline Road. With the fire station vacating the site, the City moved forward with plans to transform the entire building into an expanded Animal Services Facility. The renovated space now spans nearly 14,000 square feet—approximately five times larger than the previous shelter—and is designed to meet the community’s growing needs. The upgraded facility includes additional kennels and holding areas for a variety of animals, dedicated grooming and bathing spaces, and outdoor exercise and play areas. It also features thoughtfully designed “Get to Know” rooms, providing a comfortable environment for residents to meet and interact with adoptable pets. Residents are encouraged to visit the new facility and consider giving a pet a forever home. The EulessCity Council Dear Citizens, As summer begins to wind down, many families are making the most of these final weeks before the busy fall season arrives. There is still time to enjoy a splash-filled day at our Aquatics Park before it closes for the season on September 7. This summer was filled with outstanding opportunities for residents of all ages to learn, connect, and have fun. I hope you and your family had the opportunity to participate in some of these programs and events. The start of a new school year is just around the corner as HEB and Grapevine- Colleyville Independent School Districts return to school on Wednesday, August 12. As our school zones become busier with children walking, biking, and riding to school, we ask everyone to help make safety a top priority. Behind the scenes, city staff have been busy putting the finishing touches on the proposed budget. Decisions will be made on road repairs, parks, public safety, and community programs, all while ensuring the city remains financially sound, continues to run smoothly, and meets the needs of all our wonderful residents. As we look ahead, I encourage you to stay connected and watch for the many exciting classes, activities, and community events planned for the fall and winter months. There is always something happening in Euless, and we look forward to seeing you there.

Back-to-School Safety Reminders With the first day of school on August 12, drivers should anticipate increased traffic as children return to school. Kids walking to class or boarding buses can be easily distracted, so it’s important to allow extra time for your commute, and exercise additional caution in school zones and residential areas. To safely share the road with school kids, drivers should: • Obey school zone speed limit signs. • Put away cell phones. • Obey crossing guards. • Look for crosswalks and prepare to stop. • Watch for children running between vehicles. • Stop for flashing red lights or a stop sign on a school bus, regardless of which direction you’re headed, as this is the law. • Do not pass unless: the bus driver signals you to proceed, or the red lights are no longer flashing. 201 N.
