The purpose of the hearing is to provide information on transportation projects that might affect bicycle use, plans, policies, and programs for the TxDOT Dallas District and NCTCOG and to receive public comments.
Comments from the public regarding the district transportation projects, programs, and policies affecting bicycle use on the state highway system are requested and can be submitted online via survey at the project website, by email to Melissa.Meyer@txdot.gov, or by mail to TxDOT Dallas District Office, Attn: Melissa Meyer, 4777 East Highway 80, Mesquite, Texas 75150-6643.

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, please contact Emily McCann, TxDOT Dallas District Public Information Officer, at (214) 320-4485 no later than 4 p.m., Friday, April 30, 2021.
