Dallas City Council members gathered on June 9, 2025, to discuss significant developments in local transportation and infrastructure, with a focus on flood management and the introduction of autonomous vehicle technology.

A key highlight of the meeting was the council's approval to rename the newly developed 3 Sisters Lakes, which will now honor the Waco, Keechee, and Lipan Apache tribes. This decision reflects the council's commitment to recognizing and uplifting the Native American community in the region. The resolution, which includes technical amendments to ensure accurate representation of the tribes, is set to be discussed further on June 25.

Council members expressed gratitude for the ongoing efforts to address flooding issues in the district, noting the positive impact of new recreational lakes. These developments are expected to enhance community resilience against flooding while providing recreational opportunities for residents.

In addition to flood management, the meeting featured an announcement regarding Waymo's driverless vehicle demonstration scheduled for June 11 at Dallas City Hall. This event will showcase one of Waymo's autonomous vehicles and provide city officials with insights into the technology. The ongoing road testing aims to help the system learn local traffic patterns, although specific details about the areas being mapped remain unclear.

As the council prepares for upcoming changes in leadership, members emphasized the importance of continued collaboration and communication regarding future infrastructure projects. The meeting concluded with a reminder for council members to coordinate with city staff on agenda items for future discussions.
