ABOUT

Given the unique circumstances of the COVID-19 outbreak,

along with TxDOT's commitment to protect public health during this pandemic, the Texas Department of Transportation is conducting Virtual Public Scoping Meetings until further notice to avoid in-person contact. At this time, the virtual format is being held in lieu of an in-person Public Scoping Meeting. This presentation will cover the same information that the Dallas District would have shared at the in-person Public Scoping Meeting. However, the comment process will be different. Details on how to submit a comment and how to have your questions addressed will be covered in the Virtual Meeting Room and can also be found in the Provide Input section.

The following sections will guide you through different components of the study.

  • Paper copies of the presentation and information presented in this Virtual Public Scoping Meeting and comment forms can also be accessed in the Meeting Materials section
  • For ADA accommodation
