The in- person option will be held on Tuesday, June 8, 2021 from 4 PM to 8 PM at the Fair Park Coliseum at 1438 Coliseum Drive, Dallas, Texas 75210. Attendance at the in-person option will be by appointment only.
Individuals wishing to attend the in-person option must sign up via: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/I30EC or call (833) 933-0443 and leave a message and a staff member will return your call to schedule your appointment. In recognition of COVID-19, enhanced safety measures will be applied at the in-person option, including a requirement to have an appointment and follow social distancing practices, and the wearing of a face mask. If anyone arrives without an appointment, they may be asked to wait outside to ensure that appropriate occupancy within the meeting room is maintained.
Purpose:
The purpose of the virtual public meeting is to present information on proposed improvements to I-30 from I-345/I-45 to Ferguson Road in Dallas, Texas and solicit public comments. Attendees will be able to learn about the proposed project and provide input. The virtual public meeting will consist of a presentation, exhibits and materials explaining the proposed project. Comments may be provided by mail, email, or voicemail as described in the notice and on the virtual public meeting website.
Description:
The proposed improvements to the portion of the I-30 East Corridor Project to be presented at the public meeting consist of reconstructing and widening approximately 4.4 miles of I-30 from I-345/I-45 to Ferguson Road in Dallas, Texas. Within these limits, I-30 is a nine-lane, controlled-access highway including eight general purpose lanes and one reversible high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane. The existing I-30 main lanes and HOV lane are on an elevated bridge structure from I-345/I-45 to Haskell Avenue with subsequent main lane overpasses from Haskell Avenue to Dolphin Road. Frontage roads vary from two to three lanes in each direction and are discontinuous within these limits. The existing right of way (ROW) typically ranges from 195 feet to 483 feet in width.
The proposed improvements would include ten general purpose lanes (five in each direction), two reversible managed lanes, discontinuous two to three lane frontage roads in each direction, and reconstruction of ramps and bridge structures. The proposed I-30 main lanes and managed lanes would be depressed from I-345/I-45 to Dolphin Road. Accommodations for bicycle and pedestrian travel along the project corridor are a component of project development. The proposed ROW typically ranges from 308 to 505 feet in width. The proposed improvements would require additional ROW.
Special Accommodations:
The virtual public meeting 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 meeting, please contact Patrick Clarke, TxDOT Public Information Officer, TxDOT Dallas District, at (214) 320-4483 no later than 4 p.m. on June 3, 2021.
