Topics getting the most attention in Keller public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Samantha Springs Mixed-Use Development Proposal
A developer wanted to build 31 brownstone townhomes and commercial space at 800 N. Main Street, but residents and council members pushed back because the commercial buildings weren't required to be built right away. Ultimately, the council voted down the project to prevent another half-empty commercial center.
Westlake Data Center Legal Challenge
Residents and city officials are fighting a massive 1.1 million-square-foot data center planned by Westlake just 506 feet from Keller homes and Ridgeview Elementary School. They are concerned about constant low-frequency noise, immense water and power consumption, plummeting property values, and a lack of transparency from Westlake.
Kroger Relocation and Traffic Impacts
Kroger is proposing a massive new 99,000+ square-foot grocery store with fuel pumps and a drive-thru pharmacy at 1025 Keller Parkway, which would replace the existing store across the street. While the applicant promises state-of-the-art amenities, numerous local residents voiced deep concern over worsening traffic congestion and safety hazards around Rufe Snow Drive and Keller Parkway.
The Preserve at Keller Oaks Development & Traffic Concerns
A proposed 39-acre development with 59 homes and commercial space raised concerns among neighbors about cut-through traffic and whether neighborhood access gates should remain closed.
