BURLESON – The Burleson City Council approved a project to widen Alsbury Boulevard and directed city staff to update the street asset-management program to repair Hidden Creek Parkway, Renfro Street and Alsbury sooner than initially planned Monday at City Hall.

The council unanimously approved the $2.7 million project to widen Alsbury from Hulen Street to Candler Drive and directed city staff to pull $700,000 from the $2.3 million budget for year-one of the street asset-management program to focus on fixing multiple locations along Hidden Creek, Renfro and Alsbury.
