Purpose | The purpose of the public meeting is to present and gather public input on the proposed redesign of FM 3248 (E. Alton Gloor Blvd.) from I-69E to FM 1847. The redesign would change from an existing five-lane roadway with a continuous left-turn lane to a six-lane roadway with a raised median and a 10-foot-wide shared-use path in each direction in Cameron County, Texas. |
Description | TxDOT is proposing to redesign FM 3248 (E. Alton Gloor Blvd.) from I-69E to FM 1847 from an existing five-lane roadway with a continuous left turn lane to a six-lane roadway with a raised median and a 10-foot-wide shared use path in each direction in Cameron County, Texas. The proposed project would impact approximately 0.06 acres of trail and associated parking. The portion of the trail within the proposed ROW would be reconstructed to connect to the project’s proposed shared-use path. TxDOT anticipates making a de minimis determination for this use under Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act of 1966 and will comply with Chapter 26 of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Code. |
Accessibility | The public hearing will be conducted in English. If you need an interpreter or document translator because English is not your primary language or have difficulty communicating effectively in English, one will be provided to you. If you have a disability and need assistance, special arrangements can be made to accommodate most needs. If you need interpretation or translation services or are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend and participate in the public hearing, please contact the Public Involvement Specialist no later than 4 p.m. CT, Monday, July 28, 2025, by phone at 956-702-6161. Please be aware that advance notice is required as some services and accommodation may require time for the Texas Department of Transportation to arrange. |
