The future of Lewisville's Old Town area is beginning to take shape.
City officials this week started refining plans for the Old Town Plaza, Mill Street and a transit-oriented district around the coming A-train station – areas they hope to transform into a mixed-use environment where people live, work and play.
At Monday's work session, the Lewisville City Council reviewed preliminary concepts drafted by Design Workshop, a national urban-design firm that conducted public meetings this year to gain input from residents.
Old Town Plaza, a public area that will be built along Church Street in front of City Hall, is envisioned as a centerpiece of the redevelopment effort.
The 3- to 4-acre tract, now mostly used for parking, will be transformed into a park with a tree-lined pedestrian walkway along a shallow water trough and an interactive pop-up water fountain where children can play.
