MPAC Focus Groups for 2024

​

• Monitor City Council (standing committee) - Members of this committee attend (or monitor) every work session and meeting of the Arlington City Council and distribute summary reports to MPAC members.
   

• Community Connections -The goal of the Community Connections Focus Group is to have a positive impact on the future development of Arlington by being a bridge between city officials and the citizens of Arlington.
   

• Environmental, Beautification, Natural Resources - A strong City leadership with environmental education and community stewardship ensures preservation of natural resources and the beautification of Arlington. We will encourage current and new city council members to revisit and address the recommendations brought forth in the 2020 Enviromental Task Force Final report.
  We will encourage the reinstatement of the nine-year, very missed, Ecofest. Recyling, Bee City and Monarch City would be a vital link in this event.
  We continue to lose valuable tree canopy and historic Cross Timbers to development.  We will encourage city staff to review the ECE recommendations.
   

• Traffic - As concerned citizens of Arlington, we have witnessed the growth and growing pains that comes with becoming a large city, specifically in the areas of traffic flow and traffic safety.  As we continue our work to make Arlington a great place to live, work and play, we are concerned how the City of Arlington is addressing the increase in traffic congestion, traffic violations, and the impact multi-housing developments have on traffic flow and safety.  MPAC is committed to working with City officials to address these challenges.
