TxDOT Hosting Public Meeting on Proposed Improvements to FM 543 in McKinney

The Texas Department of Transportation Dallas is inviting Collin County residents to public input sessions about proposed improvements to FM 543 in McKinney.

TxDOT Dallas posted the invitation to social media on Monday. The in-person session will be held at 5 p.m. on May 21 at the Myers Park & Event Center (The Landing). The address is 7117 CR 166, McKinney.

According to the fact page, the purpose of the public meeting is to gather public input about proposed improvements to FM 543 from CR 125 to Trinity Falls Parkway in Collin County.

The proposed project would reconstruct and widen FM 543 in stages based on traffic volumes and available funding. Initial construction would consist of four travel lanes (two in each direction) with a grass median and would be widened to the inside once warranted by traffic.

The in-person session will be held in an open house format. Attendees can view the same presentation delivered in the online public meeting (which will be playing on a screen), review hard copies of project materials, ask questions of TxDOT staff or consultants, and leave written comments.

The virtual sessions will take place at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, May 21 and remain online until 11:59 p.m. on Friday, June 5.

If residents do not have internet access, they may call 214-320-4431 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.
