The 1977 allocation for this project was $670,000 in bond funds. On August 30, 1977 (M&C C-3890), a contract was awarded to J. L. Bertram Company based on a low bid of $997,080.47 for improvements to Village Creek Road (Richardson to Ramey) consisting of a 60 ft. wide pavement of seven inch concrete, with curbs, driveway approaches, and sidewalks as well as storm drainage facilities. In addition, some $95,000 in water mains were to be constructed. On October 11, 1977 (M&C C-3593), the Council held a benefit hearing on this project and ordered it canceled.
