- Juan Carlos Flores está viviendo su propio sueño americano en Taquería Saltillo, el restaurante familiar que ayudó a construir desde cero. Su historia es un ejemplo de trabajo duro, perseverancia y orgullo por la ciudad que ha sido su hogar desde que era niño.

- Juan Carlos Flores is living his American dream at Taqueria Saltillo, the family-owned restaurant he helped build from the ground up. His story is one of hard work, perseverance, and pride in the city he has called home since childhood. This summer, his journey took a new step forward as his recipe joined the Arlington ISD menu, inspiring students with a taste of local success.

- The City of Arlington’s innovative Community Court pilot program helps eligible low-income residents and veterans resolve Class C misdemeanor violations by successfully completing alternatives such as community service, education and workforce development, counseling and substance abuse recovery instead of just paying hundreds of dollars in fines.
Launched in March 2024, the four-year, federally funded pilot program focuses on addressing underlying issues, such as financial hardship, homelessness, addiction, or limited job skills, that may have contributed to their trouble with the law. Common Class C violations resolved through Community Court include public intoxication, possessing drug paraphernalia, and driving without a valid license or insurance.
“Most people will just go and pay their fine and they’ll pay the court costs. But for some individuals, that's not a realistic option for them. They simply don't have the funds,” Associate Municipal Judg...

- The Public Works Department is working on an important initiative to assess the condition of sidewalks and pedestrian facilities across the city. This project is a key step in updating Arlington’s Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan and creating the City’s first comprehensive Sidewalk Master Plan.
To support this effort, residents may notice a specialized van equipped with LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology driving through neighborhoods. This LiDAR van will scan sidewalks within the public right-of-way, collecting high-resolution data that will be used to evaluate surface conditions and compliance with ADA accessibility standards.
What is LiDAR Scanning?
LiDAR is a remote sensing technology that uses laser light to precisely measure distances and generate highly detailed, three-dimensional maps of physical environments. LiDAR allows cities to efficiently collect accurate data on infrastructure such as sidewalks, r...

- Piecing It Together: Property Tax Exemptions Available in The City of Arlington
- Runtime

- Description
- Today, we’re focusing on one important piece: property tax exemptions available here in the American Dream City.
When you first look at your property tax bill, it might feel like a lot of pieces to put together. But if you break it down, the City’s piece is only about 25 percent of that bill— The other 75% funds Tarrant County, your local school district, the hospital district and Tarrant County College.
The City Council is also expected to reauthorize several property tax exemptions that help residents save, including the state’s largest homestead exemption of 20% of the property value. There’s $60,000 exemptions for residents who are over 65, disabled veterans, and people with disabilities. And the senior tax freeze, which saves our senior citizens millions of dollars each year.
Thanks for joining us for this episode of “Piecing it Together.” Every piece matters, and you can see the full picture by visiting ArlingtonTX.gov/Budget.

- Today, we’re taking a look at the ways Arlington is looking to fill a $20 million shortfall in the City’s budget.
The City’s cost-saving measures started in last year’s budget, where the City Council approved $5.8 million in spending cuts and eliminated 22 vacant positions.
The proposed budget for the next fiscal year includes several strategies to fill the shortfall. Financial restructuring, new fees and fee adjustments will account for $8.04 million dollars, while budget reductions will account for an additional $7.7 million dollars. This includes eliminating 42 vacant positions, decreasing the Arlington Public Library’s collection budget, eliminating two City holidays, eliminating the Action Center’s Saturday hours, reducing Handitran’s service area to the Arlington city limits, and reducing community park mowing cycles, among other items.
A recommendation for a three-cent property tax adjustment will help ensure the City’s financial stability. T...
