SP 290 Pedestrian Facilities and Landscaping

The virtual hearing will consist of a pre-recorded video presentation and will include both audio and visual components. The presentation will be posted to this webpage by Friday, June 5, 2026, at 10 a.m., and will remain available online for at least 15 days.

If you do not have internet access, you may call 254-298-5127 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, to ask questions and access project materials during the project development process.

The project consists of the development of two pedestrian walks at the southern portion of the site, a shared-use path at the western side of 3rd Street between West Avenue A and West Avenue E, and the modification of West Avenue D into a cul-de-sac. The project proposes closing South 3rd Street north of West Avenue E for a shared-use path, as well as closing of 1st Street south of East Avenue E to turn into a sidewalk. The project would construct two pedestrian sidewalks on West Avenue E, widen West Ave E for street parking, improve the medians on 3rd Street, and add a right turn lane from southbound 3rd St onto West Ave E.

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 by appointment between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at 3210 East Avenue H Building A, Temple, TX 76501.

The virtual public hearing will be conducted in English. If you need an interpreter or document translator because English is not your primary language or you have difficulty communicating effectively in English, one will be provided to you.
