TxDOT schedules public hearings

TxDOT has scheduled two public hearings in Collin County this week:

FM 455 in Anna

TxDOT in cooperation with Collin County and The City of Anna will host an open house and public hearing for the proposed improvements to Farm-to-Market (FM) 455. The hearing will be on Tuesday, March 30, 2010 at the City of Anna, City Hall Administration Building, City Council Chambers, 111 North Powell Parkway, Anna, Texas, 75409.

Prior to the public hearing, an open house will be from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. to allow for questions and review of project exhibits. TxDOT? strongly values the public’s involvement and invites all interested persons to attend the open house to discuss the social, economic, and environmental affects of the proposed improvements to FM 455.

The proposed project is needed to adequately address the expected increase in traffic along FM 455 within the City of Anna. The 6.5 mile improvement project extends from the U.S. Highway (US) 75 northbound frontage road to State Highway (SH) 121, in Collin County. The proposed plans widen FM 455 from a two-lane undivided roadway to a divided four-lane roadway with an ultimate six-lane configuration. This project’s improvements are designed to reduce congestion and improve mobility.

FM 546 in McKinney

TxDOT in cooperation with Collin County and and the City of McKinney will host an open house and public hearing for the proposed improvements to Farm-to-Market (FM) 546. The hearing will be held on Tuesday, March 30, 2010 at the McKinney City Hall - City Council Chambers, 222 N. Tennessee Street, McKinney, TX 75069.

Prior to the public hearing, an open house will be from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. to allow for questions and review of project exhibits. TxDOT? strongly values the public’s involvement and invites all interested persons to attend the open house to discuss the social, economic and environmental affects of the proposed improvements to FM 546.

The proposed project is needed to address uncontrolled access and conflicting left-turn movements on the roadway. The proposed improvement project extends from State Highway (SH) 5 to Airport Road in Collin County. The proposed project would reconstruct the existing six-lane roadway and bidirectional continuous left-turn lane to a four-lane roadway with dedicated left-turn lanes. This project’s improvements are designed to better control access and create safer conditions for motorists traveling along this roadway.

It is my hope that this forum will serve as an acute observer of Collin County government, leading to the return of the county to those it is supposed to serve.

I will post my opinions, fair analysis, news clippings that are relevant to local issues, and your comments.
