The City of Denton is set for transformation as its City Council schedules a public hearing on a proposed amendment to the city's 2022 Mobility Plan. The hearing, slated for June 17 at 6:30 pm, will discuss potential modifications to the Thoroughfare Plan and Map, concerning specific streets near the University of North Texas.
In a move indicating the city's commitment to evolving transportation needs, changes under consideration include reclassifying segments of Eagle Drive, Welch Street, and Avenue A, transforming them from Secondary Arterial to Collector streets. Located south and east of the University of North Texas, the proposed modifications are expected to reflect the changing dynamics of city traffic and urban development. Announced by the City of Denton's Development Services Department, information about the meeting can be found on the City of Denton's website.
Citizens and groups with stakes or interest in the areas being discussed are encouraged to attend the public hearing, to be held in the City Council Chambers at City Hall, located at 215 E McKinney Street. Whether they wish to express support or opposition or merely observe, attendees will be allowed to make their voices heard on the matter at hand.
For those looking for additional details ahead of the hearing, Development Services Department representative Sahar Esfandyari is available at (940) 349-8217. Closer to the date, on June 13, the city's website will feature the meeting agenda, staff analysis, and associated exhibits.
