The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is proposing to construct US 380 as a freeway primarily on new location from Coit Road and existing US 380 around the northern portion of McKinney connecting back to existing US 380 near Farm to Market (FM) Road 1827, east of the City of McKinney. This notice advises the public that a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) is available for public review and that TxDOT will be conducting an in-person and online virtual public hearing on the proposed project. The purpose of the hearing is to present the DEIS and updated schematic design of the “Blue Alternative,” which has been identified as TxDOT’s Preferred Alternative. The Preferred Alternative links Segments A, E, and C. The DEIS is available for review online at www.keepitmovingdallas.com/US380EIS , and a hard copy is available for review at the TxDOT Dallas District Office. The hearing dates, times and locations are listed below. The same information will be available at the in-person and virtual hearings, including a pre-recorded video presentation with audio and visual components.

From surgery to long-term success, let’s reset your life.

To view the virtual public hearing materials, participants may go to the web address noted above at any time during the dates indicated. In-person attendees will be able to view the presentation which will be playing on a screen, review hard copies of project materials, ask questions of TxDOT staff and/or consultants, and leave comments. The in-person public hearings will follow an “open house” format, meaning attendees may come and go at their convenience. If you do not have internet access, or do not wish to attend an in-person hearing, you may call (214) 320-4469 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, to ask questions and access project materials during the project development process. The proposed project would provide a new location, eight-lane, controlled-access freeway with two-lane, one-way frontage roads on each side from Coit Road and existing US 380 to the eastern terminus at existing US 380 and FM 1827. The purpose of the project is to manage congestion and improve east-west mobility and safety throughout the study area. The typical proposed right-of-way (ROW) would be approximately 420 feet wide, with the minimum and maximum ROW width ranging from 330 feet to 1,582 feet, respectively. Depending on the location, the typical freeway section would consist of four 12-foot-wide travel lanes in each direction with 10- to 17-foot-wide inside and outside shoulders and two-lane (each 12-feet-wide), one-way frontage roads on either side of the mainlanes. Shared-use paths built along the outside of the frontage roads would provide bicycle and pedestrian accommodations. The total proposed ROW acreage is estimated at 1,083.5 acres. The proposed project passes through the Town of Prosper, the City of McKinney, and Collin County. The proposed project is not anticipated to impact any existing properties protected under Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act of 1966. TxDOT received information in November 2022 about several planned, future parks in the Town of Prosper and is evaluating each property for Section 4(f) eligibility. The proposed project would, subject to final design considerations, require acquisition of additional ROW and potentially displace 22 residences and 35 businesses. Relocation assistance is available for displaced persons and businesses. Information about the TxDOT Relocation Assistance Program and services and benefits for those displaced and other affected property owners, as well as information about the tentative schedule for ROW acquisition and construction, can be obtained from the TxDOT Dallas District office by calling (214) 320-6675 or online at www.keepitmovingdallas.com/US380EIS . The proposed project would involve construction in wetlands and an action in a floodplain and floodway. Environmental documentation and studies, including the DEIS and any maps and drawings showing the project location and design, tentative construction schedules, and other information regarding the proposed project are on file and available for inspection Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at the TxDOT Dallas District Office, 4777 East US Highway 80, Mesquite, Texas 75150-6643. Printed copies of the design schematic will also be available for review at Prosper Town Hall, McKinney City Hall, and Collin County Courthouse as well as online at www.keepitmovingdallas.com/US380EIS beginning Thursday, Feb. 16 at 5:30 p.m., and in hard copy form for review at the in-person public hearing. The public hearing will be conducted in English. If you need an interpreter or document translator because English is not your primary language or you have difficulty communicating effectively in English, one will be provided to you. If you have a disability and need assistance, special arrangements can be made to accommodate most needs. If you need interpretation or translation services or you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend and participate in the virtual public hearing or in-person option, please contact TxDOT Public Information Office at (214) 320-4480 no later than 4 p.m. Monday, Feb. 13, 2023. Please be aware that advance notice is required as some services and accommodations may require time for TxDOT to arrange. Comments from the public regarding the proposed project are requested and may be submitted to the TxDOT Dallas District Office, 4777 East US Highway 80, Mesquite, Texas 75150-6643 or Stephen.Endres@txdot.gov . Verbal comments may be submitted by calling (833) 933-0443. All comments must be received or postmarked before Tuesday, March 21, 2023. Responses to comments received by the deadline will be available on the project website once they have been prepared. If you have any general questions or concerns regarding the proposed project or the hearing, please contact the TxDOT Project Manager, Mr. Stephen Endres, P.E., at (214) 320-4469 or Stephen.Endres@txdot.gov . The environmental review, consultation, and other actions required by applicable Federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried-out by TxDOT pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated December 9, 2019, and executed by FHWA and TxDOT.
