Hello neighbors,

School starts soon!

Waketon Road construction to begin soon.

The Waketon Road widening, and reconstruction contract has been approved by the Towns of Double Oak and Flower Mound as well as Denton County, and construction is scheduled to begin this fall.  The eastern portion of Waketon Road from Chinn Chapel Road easterly to Parksdale Drive will begin in September after Labor Day, and the western portion from Chinn Chapel Road westerly to Cross Timbers Drive/Kings Road in front of Double Oak Town Hall will begin construction late this year or early next year.    Signage and erosion control measures may begin sooner, so please “Give them a Brake” and drive with extra caution in the construction zones.
