The City of Denton is poised to host a public hearing to discuss substantive changes to its 2022 Mobility Plan. According to an official notice published yesterday, the proposal includes amending the city's Thoroughfare Map. This deliberation will directly impact roads in the vicinity of the Denton Airport and west of Interstate 35W.
Major alterations under consideration involve the removal of a future segment of Underwood Road between FM 1515 and Spring Side, coupled with changes to Corbin Road's east-west extension that would then connect to Underwood Road instead of Spring Side Road. To further reshape the local landscape, Spring Side Road could see its classification downgraded from a Secondary Arterial to a Collector. The City Council will convene on May 20 at 6:30 p.m. to discuss these potential adjustments, as detailed in the City of Denton's notice.
Citizens of Denton with an interest in the fate of their thoroughfares are encouraged to participate in the upcoming hearing. Whether in support of or opposition to the proposal, attendees will have the opportunity to make their voices heard. The public meeting is scheduled to take place at the heart of civic decision-making: City Hall's Council Chambers, located at 215 E. McKinney Street.
For those seeking to prepare in advance or those unable to attend but wishing to stay informed, the Development Services Department agent, Sahar Esfandyari, can be contacted at (940) 349-8217 or through their email at [email protected]. Additionally, on May 16, the city's website will feature the meeting agenda, complete with staff analysis and associated exhibits for public review, ensuring transparency and community engagement.
