In-person Public Meeting with Virtual Option for the FM 76 (North Loop Drive) Feasibility Study

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) El Paso District will be conducting an In-person Public Meeting with Virtual Option for the FM 76 (North Loop Drive) Feasibility Study Tuesday Feb. 6, 2024, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. MT at the Robert R. Rojas Elementary School Cafeteria, 500 Bauman Road, Socorro TX 79927. The study is being conducted to identify potential improvements to Farm-to-Market (FM) 76 (North Loop Drive) from FM 1281 (Horizon Boulevard) in Socorro to State Highway (SH) 20 (Alameda Avenue) in Fabens, El Paso County, Texas - approximately 12.5 miles of FM 76.

This public meeting represents the second round for the study. Last February, TxDOT held a public meeting to introduce the study and solicit feedback from the public. Based on the comments received and further analysis, TxDOT has developed recommendations. The purpose of the upcoming public meeting is to present the recommended conceptual alternative and the short, mid, and long-term corridor improvements and to provide an opportunity for the public to share feedback.

If the public would rather attend online, the virtual option will consist of a virtual room that will include both audio and visual components. The virtual room will be available online beginning Tuesday, Feb. 6, 2024, at 4 p.m. MT. Virtual attendees will be able to view the same materials shown at the In-person Public Meeting. To log onto the Virtual Option, attendees can go to the following web address at the date and time indicated above: www.txdot.gov and enter “FM 76 (North Loop Drive) Feasibility Study” in the keyword search box. Please note that the virtual room will not be on the website until the time and date listed above and will remain available for viewing at the web address indicated above until Wednesday, Feb. 21, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. MT. Both the in-person public meeting and virtual option will be available in English and Spanish.

Written comments from the public regarding the proposed study are requested and may be submitted by mail to ICF, Attn: FM 76 North Loop Dr, 5 Lakeway Centre Court, Suite 200, Austin, TX 78734.
