When:                

The virtual public hearing will be held on Thursday, December 10, 2020 at 6:00 PM and will be available through Friday, December 30, 2020. All comments must be received on or before Wednesday, December 30, 2020. This will be a virtual public hearing via a pre-recorded video presentation. 

Purpose:            

The purpose of the virtual public hearing is to present the proposed US 67 Lake Ridge Parkway improvements and solicit public comments. The virtual public hearing will begin at 6 p.m. Materials will consist of a video presentation explaining the proposed project, which includes both audio and video components, along with other exhibits and materials for review. Comments may be provided by mail, email, or voicemail as described in the notice and on the virtual public hearing website.

Description:

The proposed US 67 project improvements would consist of the construction of a grade-separation at Lake Ridge Parkway with an overpass at US 67 and would include six 12-foot lanes (three in each direction), 10-foot raised median, curb and gutter, and Texas U-turns. The existing ramps within the project area would be converted to an X-ramp pattern design for Lake Ridge Parkway. The proposed improvements would also include reconstruction of US 67 mainlanes and frontage roads, from north of Shiloh Road to south of Mt. Lebanon Road. The proposed US 67 mainlanes would consist of four 12-foot lanes (two in each direction), 22-foot inside shoulder, and 10- foot outside shoulders. Twenty six-foot wide inside grassy median separates the northbound and southbound mainlanes. The 22-foot inside shoulder would be restriped in the future to add one additional travel lane in each direction. The proposed northbound and southbound frontage roads would consist of two 12-foot lanes and 8-foot inside and outside shoulders.

The proposed project would require approximately 60.38 acres of new right of way along US 67 from north of Shiloh Road to south of Mount Lebanon Road, to accommodate the Phase I interchange project improvements, staging area for construction and ROW preservation for future construction of the ultimate interchange facility (final phase). The proposed project would, subject to final design considerations, displace one non-residential structure. No residential displacements are anticipated.
