1107 State Hwy 16
Fredericksburg, TX 78624 (Map)

When:

Monday, Sept. 24, 2018
4 p.m. - 7 p.m.

Purpose:

The purpose of the public workshop is to gather input on the Fredericksburg Relief Route Study. The workshop will be an open house format so the public may come and go at their convenience, and staff will be available to answer questions. Comments must be received on or before Oct. 9, 2018 to be a part of the official public workshop record.

Description:

The City of Fredericksburg and Gillespie County, acting through the Gillespie County Relief Route Task Force and with support from the Texas Department of Transportation, are exploring a potential US 290 Fredericksburg relief route. The potential route would relieve traffic and improve mobility in downtown Fredericksburg by giving people the option to travel around, rather than directly through, the city. As traffic volumes and congestion continue to increase the need for a relief route has become an important safety and quality-of-life issue for the community.

Special Accommodations:

TxDOT makes every reasonable effort to accommodate the needs of the public. The open house will be in English. If you have a special communication accommodation or need for an interpreter, a request can be made. If you have a disability and need assistance, special arrangements can also be made to accommodate most needs. Please call (512)517-7251 at least five working days prior to the meeting. Please be aware that advance notice is requested as some accommodations may require time for TxDOT to arrange.

Memorandum of Understanding:

The environmental review, consultation, and other actions required by applicable federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried-out by TxDOT pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated December 16, 2014, and executed by FHWA and TxDOT.
