CSJs: 0442-02-161, 0918-47-246

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will conduct a public meeting for the purpose of soliciting
comments on the proposed improvements to Bear Creek Road from Hampton Road to IH 35E in Dallas County,
Texas, a distance of 2.0 miles. The meeting will be held on Thursday, November 1st, 2018, from 6:00 p.m. to
8:00 p.m., at Frank D. Moates Elementary School Cafeteria, located at 1500 Heritage Boulevard, Glenn
Heights, Texas 75154. Representatives from TxDOT and project consultants will be available to answer
questions about the proposed project. The meeting will be held in an open house format from 6:00 p.m. to
8:00 p.m. with no formal presentation.

The Bear Creek Road proposed improvements would consist of the reconstruction and widening of Bear Creek
Road from Hampton Road to IH 35E within the cities of Glenn Heights and Lancaster in Dallas County. Bear
Creek Road is an undivided, two-lane rural highway with 12-foot lanes within an existing right-of-way of
approximately 80 feet. The proposed improvements would include one 12-foot wide inside travel lane and one
14-foot wide outside shared-use lane (for bicycle accommodation) with raised median and curb and gutter in
each direction; and continuous sidewalks and a hike/bike trail within a proposed right-of-way width of
approximately 112 feet. Additional improvements would include reconstruction of the IH 35E/Bear Creek Road
intersection and the replacement of the IH 35E frontage road bridges. The proposed project will require additional
right-of-way.
