TO: Collin County Mayors
Dear Mayors:
The Commissioners Court of Collin County is greatly concerned about the future mobility of those who l
will live and work in the many fine cities in Collin County as well as the rural areas of the County.The
�|
Commissioners Court approved an updated Mobility Plan in 2014 which is used by the County,the cities, |
TxDOT and others as a guide to assuring adequate future mobility. However, it became evident from this
update that current transportation planning is not adequate for the long term.
At our meeting on February 1, 2016, Commissioners Court concluded that one of the major elements
thathastobeaddedtotheK4obi|ityP|anismore "|innitedaccessroodxvays^ (LARs).Anytypemfsma/|er
roadway does not have the capacity needed to accommodate Collin County's growth.The
Commissioners Court adopted a Court Order(attached)that established their perspective of priority
LARs to be considered for inclusion into the Mobility Plan in the County as well as the Regional plan and
State plan.Also attached is a map identifying the corridors of the proposed LARS. The Court is
committed to working with the cities and all other transportation agencies in the County to implement
the priorities in this Court Order. Members of the Commissioners Court are available to present this
--
information to your City Council;just contact your Commissioner or the County Judge.
You received a letter dated March 25, 2016,from Michael Morris(NCTCOG)and Kelly Selman (TxDOT)
asking for your recommendation of three major projects to advance through the environmental process.
Although they asked for our submissions by April 15,we have learned that this was not a rigid deadline.
If you have not submitted anything we encourage you to do so as soon as possible.
Finally our consultant iscompleting traffic projections for the population and employment when our
county is"bui|t'out".This is critical to be able to determine what transportation facilities will be /
required and for us to make wise transportation decisions as we grow.We will be sharing this
information with you soon and asking all the transportation agencies in the County to join together to
deve|opa "masterp|an"toguideusasxvea\| imp|ementourpartsofthep|on.
Thank you for your service to your city.We look forward to working with you as we provide for the
future residents and employees ofour Cities and County.

SUBJECT: Advancing Freeway/Highway Projects in Collin County
The Regional Transportation Council approved Mobility 2040, the metropolitan transportation
plan for the Dallas-Fort Worth area on March 10, 2016. While population growth is an issue for
the entire region, growth is particularly rapid in Collin County. That fact, coupled with the
comparative lack of non-tolled highway type transportation facilities presents current and future
traffic congestion problems in the County.
As we look to implement projects from Mobility 2040, it is imperative that we begin working on
environmental studies now to be prepared for funding in the near term. This will be a
collaborative process amongst local governments, the Regional Transportation Council, and the
Texas Department of Transportation. At this time,we would like to ask each city in Collin
County to identify three candidate ma or freewa /hi hwa that should advance
;though the enTTTT , 6,with your entity's recommendations. Again, we are looking for three candidate
highway/freeway projects contained in the Mobility 2040 Plan, www.ncteog.org/mobility204O.
We look forward to working with elected officials and the community in Collin County to advance
needed transportation projects. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
