Lubbock Outer Route public meeting scheduled for June 14
LUBBOCK— The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has scheduled its third public meeting to discuss and receive input from the public on the second phase of the Lubbock Outer Route Study and route options for the proposed highway facility for June 17.
An open house will begin at 5:30 p.m., Tuesday, June 17, 2014 at the Lubbock-Cooper Performing Arts Center located at 16302 Loop 493, Lubbock, TX 79423, and will provide information and display exhibits related to the study area and the proposed routes. A short presentation by TxDOT personnel will be conducted at 6 p.m. Staff will be on-hand to answer questions.
The Lubbock Outer Route Study is currently in its second phase of development. The first phase, known as the Lubbock Outer Route Feasibility Study, was initiated to determine the feasibility of an outer route around Lubbock from US 84 northwest of Lubbock to US 84 southeast of Lubbock. The first phase concluded in 2010 with a finding of feasibility for a four-lane divided highway in 2030. The findings allowed for the study to progress into Phase 2. During this current phase, additional analysis is being conducted to identify a specific route for the proposed highway facility. Information may be found on the project website.
Persons who plan to attend and have special communication or accommodation needs are encouraged to contact Dianah Ascencio at (806) 748-4472 at least five business days prior to the meeting to request assistance. TxDOT will make every reasonable effort to accommodate these needs.
