As part of the Lewisville 2035 vision plan effort, the City of Lewisville hosted a community workshop to give residents the chance to share their perspectives on the City’s future, with over 120 people in attendance. Eight different stations were set up at the event, each representing a subcommittee of the Lewisville 2035 Steering Committee. The following pages outline the results from each station and its respective boards.

Key themes across all the stations include:

  • Natural Lewisville: Residents emphasized the importance of protecting and enhancing the natural environment. Top priorities included more trees and shaded trails, protection of wildlife areas and sustainable energy practices. Community members noted winter freezes, power outages and extreme heat as the most pressing shocks they’ve experienced.
  • Growing Lewisville: Economic prosperity was closely linked to revitalizing aging corridors and supporting small businesses. Residents expressed a desire for more diverse retail, dining and grocery options, while also encouraging job growth in technology, healthcare and education.
  • Connected Lewisville: Participants expressed strong interest in improved walkability, safer intersections and more reliable transit options. Walking, biking and rail were all highlighted as future priorities, along with addressing congestion on major roads.
  • Safe Lewisville: A safer Lewisville was described as well-lit streets, more visible policing, safe intersections and investments in mental health and social services. Residents noted that safety also means being able to walk anywhere in the city without fear.
  • Engaged Lewisville: Residents were proud of Lewisville’s diversity, small-town feel and community events. Many called for more festivals, public art and outreach beyond Old Town into neighborhoods like Castle Hills and southern Lewisville to strengthen community spirit.
  • Livable Lewisville: Livability was defined by access to libraries, Thrive, LLELA, parks and trails. Residents identified a need for more grocery stores, coffee shops and affordable housing types. Overall, residents were open to seeing a more diverse housing mix, while ensuring that they were affordable and accessible to people of different incomes and stages of life.
  • Playful Lewisville: Expanding music events, festivals and neighborhood gatherings was seen as a way to enhance vibrancy. Thrive, Central Park and LLELA continue to be beloved spaces, and residents want more teen-friendly and neighborhood-scale gathering places.
