The City of Richardson is seeking public input as it develops an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan to identify and address barriers that limit access to public facilities, programs and transportation infrastructure.

The annual back-to-school Tax Free Holiday begins Friday, Aug. 8, and runs through Sunday, Aug. 10. The event exempts most clothing, footwear, school supplies and backpacks (priced under $100) from sales and use taxes. The holiday applies to items purchased from a Texas store or from an online or catalog seller doing business in Texas. Some exclusions apply.  

Richardson City Manager Don Magner has announced the appointment of Tina Firgens, AICP, as Richardson’s new Director of Development Services. Firgens will officially begin her new role on Aug. 11. She brings with her more than three decades of municipal planning and development experience across several North Texas communities.  

In various phases, the right, left and center lanes of northbound Coit Road between Haymeadow Drive and Roundrock Road may be closed to traffic alternately as concrete rehabilitation/replacement takes place.

The Richardson Police Department will kick off registration/preparations for National Night Out (NNO) next Tuesday, Aug. 5 at 8 a.m., via an online video.
