Residents of communities in eastern Collin County and elsewhere will have a chance next month to provide input regarding the ongoing improvement of U.S. Highway 380.
There will be three public hearings on the project of improving the Collin County stretch of U.S. Highway 380, which runs from the Denton County line through McKinney, Princeton, and Farmersville before continuing into Hunt County, toward Greenville.
The hearings are scheduled for Monday, May 6, in the Russell A. Steindam Courts Building in McKinney; on Tuesday, May 7, at Princeton High School and on Thursday, May 9, at Lorene Rogers Middle School in Prosper. Each of the meetings begins at 6 p.m. and will feature Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) staff presenting information in an open-house format.
TxDOT has announced its intention to analyze potential roadway options for Highway 380, including improving the existing alignment or utilizing a new alignment. A recommended alignment will be presented at the meetings.
Written or electronic comments from the public will be accepted for a period of 15 calendar days following the meetings.
Written comments may be submitted either in person at the public meeting, online, or by mail to: Stephen Endres, P.E., TxDOT Dallas District Office, 4777 East US Highway 80, Mesquite, TX 75150-6643, or by email addressed to Stephen.Endres@txdot.gov.
Written comments must be postmarked on or before Friday, May 24, to be included in the documentation of the public meeting.
Public hearings were conducted at locations along the proposed route in Collin and Denton counties in the spring and fall of 2018, with the results of an online survey submitted by late October of last year.
Additional information concerning the study is available online at Drive380.com
TxDOT completed an expansion project of U.S. Highway 380 in Hunt County during the summer of 2013.
The job of widening the highway from two to four lanes through Hunt County began in the fall of 2007. Business Highway 380, where it passed through Floyd, was abandoned in favor of a new path for the highway around the city.
