In eastern Collin County, there’s still time for the public to weigh in on proposed changes to U.S. Highway 380. In Famersville, Highway 380 is going to be re-routed south of its current path. The re-routing is planned to begin just east of Lavon Lake and continue until the Collin-Hunt county line, at which point Hwy. 380 will rejoin its current path. The stretch of highway in question runs a little more than seven and a half miles. The plan is to leave the existing Highway 380 through Farmersville as a local business route, with through traffic taking the new bypass. The main questions regarding the project involve exactly where the new highway would be placed.
An in-person public hearing scheduled for March 2 had to be cancelled due to severe weather. As a result, the Texas Department of Transportation has extended the online comment period through April 7.
