AUSTIN—The I-69 Segment Two Committee will host an open house this week to give Texans another opportunity to talk to members and to comment on the group’s recommendations and priorities for the development of I-69.
Citizens are invited to attend Thursday’s open house from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Cleveland Civic Center, 210 Peach Avenue. No presentation will be given so citizen can come and go at their convenience.
The informal setting is designed to give people a chance to talk to committee members and provide feedback on proposed recommendations.
Background information will be available on the purpose and history of the I-69 Advisory Committee as well as the five I-69 Segment Committees. Also available for viewing will be an I-69 informational video and maps with the Segment Two Committee’s preliminary comments, recommendations and priorities. Citizens are encouraged to review the maps and contribute ideas and feedback.
“Citizen input and participation is important in the Segment Committee process,” said Andy Dill, Segment Two Committee member and President of the Community Chamber of Commerce of East Montgomery County.
“I encourage citizens to attend the open house because their comments and ideas will be used in the Committee’s final recommendations.”
The I-69 Segment Two Committee is one of five regional citizen advisory groups meeting throughout the I-69 system to help the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) plan projects along the route to meet local and regional needs and improve mobility throughout the area. Committee members represent Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO), cities and counties and other groups with an interest in transportation such as chambers of commerce and economic development organizations.
Members of the five segment committee’s will finalize priorities and recommendations later this year and submit a report to the I-69 Advisory Committee.
The advisory committee will use the recommendations to craft a plan to guide I-69 development in Texas. This plan will then be presented to the Texas Transportation Commission.
