Celebrating 40 Years of the Mustangs: A Tribute to Art, Heritage and Community The 40-day celebration of the Mustangs of Las Colinas’ 40th anniversary culminated in an unforgettable evening of music, great food, and community spirit. Attendees gathered at Williams Square to reflect on the impact of Ben Carpenter’s vision for this iconic sculpture and remember the artistic genius of Robert Glen who created them. It was a fitting tribute to the legacy of this beautiful work of art, a symbol of Irving’s heritage and pride.
CITY OF IRVING INTERNET AND CELLULAR SURVEYS CLOSE NOV. 22 The City of Irving is conducting two surveys to gain insight into the internet and cellular availability in the city. One survey asks residents how they use the Internet, and the second asks about cellphone usage. Each survey should take about five minutes to complete. All Irving residents and community members ages 18 and older are invited to participate. The surveys will close Nov. 22 at 11:59 p.m.

Although the online survey is open to anyone, a random sample of residents also will receive telephone surveys. The information collected in these surveys will help the city formulate plans to improve these vital services for residents. The survey results might aid the city in seeking funding to improve the infrastructure that supports these services.

Once the surveys close and the data is analyzed, the results will be shared with Irving City Council and be available online for the public to review. The City of Irving has partnered with Finley Engineering, a national technology firm, to conduct the survey. For questions regarding the internet or cellular surveys, email Bennie Boyson at bboyson@cityofirving.org. Visit CityofIrving.org/Feedback to take the survey. This project is federally funded by Community Development Block Grant CARES Act (CDBG-CV) funds.
