Town of Prosper

Mike Howard Lane was unveiled last week in Prosper, named in tribute to Prosper's very own Mike Howard. Replacing Cook Lane, this street stands as a testament to Mike’s commitment to public service. Mike’s remarkable journey began in 1952 when he quickly rose to become a police chief by age 30 and served in the Secret Service during the President Kennedy assassination. His dedication and leadership have left a lasting mark on our community. Prosper Mayor Bristol and Police Chief Doug Kolwalski joined to celebrate and commemorate Mike’s decades of service, ensuring his legacy will be forever etched in Prosper. Thank you, Mike, for your incredible contributions to Prosper and law enforcement.
