| Purpose: | The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will conduct an open house and a public hearing to present the recommended alignment that includes two tolled direct connectors for SH 288, in an effort to reduce congestion and improve traffic operations for emergency vehicles, patients, residents and employees moving in and out of the Texas Medical Center area. Additional alternatives were presented previously and public input assisted in the selection of the recommended options. This event will start with an open house, providing citizens with an informal come-and-go opportunity to learn more and talk with staff about the proposed project, ask questions and provide comments about the project proposals. Maps and other drawings showing the proposed improvements will be displayed for review. A public hearing will follow, and will include a presentation on the proposed improvements, and citizens will be able to make comments for the public hearing transcript. | ||
