Farm-to-Market (FM) 1173 From FM 156 to Interstate Highway (IH) 35 in Denton County - Public Meeting
CSJ No. 1059-01-047
Purpose:
The purpose of the meeting is to present the planned improvements and solicit public comments on the proposed improvements to Farm-to-Market (FM) 1173 from FM 156 (S. 1st street) to Interstate Highway (IH) 35, in Denton County, Texas. The meeting will be an open house format with no formal presentation so the public may come and go at their convenience, and staff will be available to answer questions. Comments must be received on or before Friday, October 25, 2019, to be a part of the official record.
Description:
The proposed project consists of the reconstruction and widening of FM 1173 from FM 156 in Krum, to IH 35 in Denton, TX. The improvements would include the expansion of the current 2-lane rural roadway to a 6-lane
urban roadway. Expansion would consist of two 12-foot wide travel lane and one 14-foot wide outside shared use lane in each direction, a proposed median, and sidewalks located along the outside of both the eastbound
and westbound lanes. The existing right-of-way (ROW) width is 80 feet and will increase with the proposed project. The proposed ROW is anticipated to acquire approximately 43 acres to expand the roadway, with five
potential displacements, based on this preliminary level of design.
