WELCOME
Mayor John Harper - Welcome
With temperatures cooling down and children back in school, I invite you to check out some
of the great fitness amenities and programs available for all ages at the Rowlett Community
Centre.
First, I must boast about the 2,500 square foot fitness room. This incredible room is designed
to provide members with a total body workout. Get into shape with free weights, strength machines, multifunctional equipment, treadmills, elliptical and upright and recumbent bikes.
Personal trainers are available to craft a perfect workout. There are two full-size gymnasiums,
one of which features an overhead walking track, and two racquetball courts, all of which
provide wonderful cardio workout opportunities.
So with the cooler temperatures making it much more pleasant to get out of the house,
please make a point to visit your Rowlett Community Centre and check out this amazing facility, explore the fun programs
and classes, and become part of this active and vibrant amenity right in our own backyard!

CITY NEWS/LIBRARY
DART Blue Line Extension
Under Construction
Design is underway for Blue Line Light Rail to downtown
Rowlett. The Proposed DART Rail Blue Line to Rowlett is
a 4.5 mile extension from Downtown Garland Light Rail
Train (LRT) station to the proposed Downtown Rowlett LRT
station. The project, scheduled to open in December of
2012, will consist of 4.5 miles of light rail tracks along the
existing Missouri-Kansas-Texas (MKT) railroad corridor. For
more information about the DART Blue Line to Rowlett,
simply go to www.dart.org/about/expansion/blueline.asp.
President George Bush Turnpike
Extension Well Underway
This is an exciting time for the City of Rowlett. Not only do we have the Eastern
Extension of the President George Bush
Turnpike under construction through the
City, but we have the DART Blue Line Light
Rail coming soon as well. The Eastern Extension of the Bush Turnpike will connect
Interstate Highway 30 to the existing President George
Bush Turnpike (PGBT) at Firewheel in Garland. It is part
of the Loop 9/State Highway 190 corridor envisioned in
the 1960s. Construction on the approximately 9.9-mile
corridor began in October 2008 and is scheduled to
open to traffic in late 2011. Please go to www.rowlett.
com and click on the PGBT icon to view a map of the
turnpike corridor and to learn more about the PGBT
Eastern Extension or go to www.ntta.org and click on
projects.
