US 380 Feasibility Studies IMPORTANT!!!!!!



What is the purpose of the study?
Analyze potential roadway alternatives, including the existing alignment and new alignments, for US 380 through Collin County from the Denton County line to the Hunt County line.
What is a feasibility study?
A feasibility study is one planning tool that TxDOT uses when a project is in the very early stages of development. It helps determine if the project should move on to more advanced phases of project development such as more in-depth environmental analysis, public involvement, schematic design and right-of-way mapping.  
The reason this type of study is done is to identify high level or critical elements of engineering, impacts to stakeholders and the public, and the economic feasibility of potential new roadways or improvements to existing roadways.
Feasibility studies are not intended to result in detailed design, environmental analysis, or cost estimates.
What will be evaluated in this feasibility study?
The study team will consider projected regional traffic, existing and planned developments, stakeholder input and the impact on the economy and environment. 
What are expected project milestones?
Summer 2017 – Study begins
Spring 2018 and Late Summer 2018 – Public open house meetings will be held to discuss the project and gather feedback from the public
Fall 2018 – Project implementation plan finalized that would include a recommended alignment(s)
*Please note that the project schedule is subject to change. 
Why is the study being conducted?
The County is growing…
The population of Collin County is projected to grow from just under 800,000 people (2010 Census) to over 3.8 million people in 2050, according to the Texas Demographic Center.*
*Assume the 2000-2010 Migration scenario for 2014 Texas Population Projections
More and more land in the County is being preserved for developments.
The study team is working with Collin County and cities in the study area to identify land which has been purchased and right of way that is preserved for existing or future planned residential or commercial development.  As the County’s population grows, the options to build a new roadway or expand the existing US 380 become more limited and potential impacts to residential and commercial developments increase.  The feasibility study will identify a roadway alignment or alignments to serve as a blueprint for City staff to begin preserving land now. 
When will construction begin?
There are many steps that must be completed after this project before construction could begin such as a more in-depth environmental analysis and public involvement, schematic design, right-of-way mapping and detailed roadway design.

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is conducting a feasibility study for improvements to
US 380 through Collin County, a distance of approximately 32 miles. TxDOT will conduct three public
meetings to discuss and receive public comments on the proposed project. All three meetings will
present the same information and will be held in an open house format with a formal
presentation. Representatives from TxDOT and project consultants will be available to answer questions
about the proposed project improvements.
The purpose of the study is to analyze potential roadway options for US 380, including improving the
existing alignment or utilizing new alignments. Alignment options could require additional right-of-way to
accommodate the project.
Study data and maps showing roadway alignments options will be available for viewing at the public
meetings. This information will also be available for public inspection Monday through Friday between the
hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. at the TxDOT Dallas District. Meeting information will also be available

Pool Status Update for 2021

Image
Hello Homeowners,  I wanted to update you on the pool for this year. As you all know, the pool equipment room experienced extensive damage during the storm. We have been working diligently to get items replaced. Since most of our pool equipment was damaged, the wait time for some parts is very long. But as of last week, we received 90% of the items we need to repair the pool. We still need to get two giant filtration balls to complete the equipment room rebuild.       We will not be able to open during the upcoming holiday weekend, but maybe a month later to get all equipment changed and ensure that all items function. We will also not be issuing pool cards until we are sure that we can get things open. I apologize for the inconvenience but we are working to get things back in order as soon as posable
