The Shepherd and Durham Major Investment Project is sponsored by MHRA. TxDOT is conducting the environmental review. The Virtual Public Hearing follows the format established by TxDOT guidelines. This hearing is required under the Texas Administrative Code because of the addition of bicycle lanes as part of the proposed project, which is considered a “substantial change in function.” Though the hearing is required due to the bicycle improvements, this project has many other valuable scope elements that address increasing safety, improving the poor condition of the roadway surface, expanding multimodal access, mitigating flooding, and improving mobility along Shepherd and Durham Drives.
