Kyle downtown square to undergo beautification project

The Kyle City Council approved a $93,700 landscape design contract with Coleman and Associates aimed to improve Kyle’s downtown square on Nov. 4.

The scope of the project is to plan the complete redesign and construction management portion of the downtown square, including Mary Kyle Hartson Park and a building design and construction at 104 S. Burleson, according to Assistant City Manager James Earp.

“I think it is very important that we make our city square park our gold standard for our downtown area and our parks system,” councilmember Tracy Scheel said. “This park is part of our history of Kyle. It will also help increase the foot traffic for the downtown corridor to help also increase the businesses in the downtown corridor.”
