Welcome to Colleyville

Once a rural farming community, Colleyville has become a perennial favorite on the “best of…” lists in Dallas and Fort Worth, across Texas, and around the nation. Money magazine named the city to its list of “Best 100 Places to Live in America,” awarding it the highest ranking in Texas. Colleyville’s small town ambiance and big city amenities continue to earn it a place on the “best” lists of popular publications, including Newsweek and D Magazine.

State of the City

On Tuesday, March 9, the city of Colleyville held its first "State of the City" meeting. The event was constructed as an opportunity for citizens to gain a better understanding of city operations, plans, and projects-and for face-to-face communication between city officials, staff, and citizens on the entire spectrum of the city's activities.

Designed in an annual report format, the meeting focused on events from the past year, with a look forward to the coming year. Citizens were updated on the city's budget, accomplishments, and strategic plan, as well as provided information about upcoming projects and initiatives. The program concluded with an extended question and answer session.

The meeting was taped and will be available online in the next few days. To access the full presentation as presented to the citizens during the "State of the City," please click here.

Citizen Survey Results

The city of Colleyville has released the results of the citizen survey conducted in January and February. There was an 18 percent response rate for the survey, which was mailed to all 8200 households in Colleyville and was available online as well. To view the complete presentation as presented to the Colleyville City Council, please click here.

Overall, the survey showed a 96% satisfaction rate with the quality of life in Colleyville, 82% were satisfied with the value of services, and 49% graded the community as improved during their time here.

According to the survey, citizens think that our small town feel, location and low crime rate make Colleyville a unique, desirable place to live. The most critical issue facing Colleyville today, according to our citizens, is attracting and keeping quality businesses as well as development of SH26.

The most utilized service provided by the city is trails, followed by visits to the city's website.

City has no plans for rail station

An article in the March 10 edition of the Grapevine Courier about Fort Worth Transportation Authority (The T) President Dick Ruddell's presentation to the Grapevine City Council referenced a remark about a planned Colleyville rail station. The City of Colleyville's position not to build a rail station in the city remains unchanged. In a phone conversation on March 11, Mr. Ruddell assured city officials that a Colleyville rail station was not part of The T's planned commuter rail line. During the Grapevine City Council meeting, Mr. Ruddell was asked about the commuter rail's project scope. In response, he mentioned cities along the route with plans for rail stations-Haltom City and North Richland Hills-not Colleyville. According to Mr. Ruddell, a Colleyville station is not in the 2030 plan that The T is submitting to the Federal Transportation Authority, as had been stated in the article. (Courier Correction/Clarification on March 16, 2010)

The T and DART continue to plan for passenger service on the Cotton Belt Line from southwest Fort Worth to DFW Airport, which will mean the commuter line will run through Colleyville.
