Thursday, Sept. 10, 2026
5 to 7 p.m.
Waxahachie Civic Center
Rooms A & B
2000 Civic Center Lane
Waxahachie, Texas 75165

The in-person option will be held in a “come and go” open house format. Attendees will be able to view the same presentation delivered in the online public meeting which will be playing on a screen, review hard copies of project materials, ask questions of project team and submit written comments and feedback.

The project proposes a 12-ft-wide concrete trail along most of the approximately 2.3 mile corridor between FM 875 and Getzendaner Park. The frontage road beneath I 35 E would also be reconstructed to accommodate one approximate 12.5-ft wide lane, a 2-ft wide safety barrier and a 10-ft wide trail. A 12-ft-wide pedestrian bridge is proposed over Waxahachie Creek near the eastern end of the project. To accommodate potential minor alignment shifts, the environmental study area includes a conservative proposed right-of-way (ROW) width varying from approximately 50 to approximately 425 ft.

Although additional ROW would be required, no residential or non-residential structures are anticipated to be displaced at this time. Information concerning services and benefits available to affected property owners and information about the tentative schedule for ROW acquisition and construction can be obtained from James Gaertner with the City of Waxahachie by calling 469-309-4141.

The proposed project would involve an action in a floodplain.

Any environmental documentation or studies, maps and drawings showing the project location and design, tentative construction schedules, and other information regarding the proposed project are on file and available for inspection Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at City of Waxahachie, 408 S. Rogers Street, 2^nd Floor, Waxahachie, Texas 75165, 469-309-4141.
