‍

Refine Preliminary Recommendations, including:

• Proposed Thoroughfare Plan updates were adjusted based on feedback from study area stakeholders and the public.
• Additional Traffic Analysis determined that the updated thoroughfare plan alone would not provide adequate capacity to address future growth in the region and additional transportation improvements are needed.
• Concepts were developed for additional transportation improvements.
• Route studies examined possible alignment options for potential new freeways and express lane connectors in the region.

Stakeholder and Public Outreach:

• August 2023 - September 2023:  Collin County held meetings with study area municipalities and regional agencies to share preliminary recommendations.

Public Meeting

• October 2023 – Public Meeting #2: Collin County asked for community feedback at public meetings on its proposed transportation improvements based on in-depth data analysis of anticipated growth and development, modeling of future traffic patterns, and previous public input.

Finalize Recommendations: Collin County is finalizing the recommendations to be included in the final report for the Collin County Future Mobility Study.
Proposed recommendations will include:
‍

• The build-out of a comprehensive thoroughfare network
• Multimodal considerations
• Early analysis of potential new freeway concepts within the study area to support future growth.
