A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF PROSPER,
TEXAS, SUPPORTING U.S. HIGHWAY 380 AS A LIMITED ACCESS
ROADWAY BUT STRONGLY OPPOSING RED ALIGNMENT OPTION B AS A
BYPASS OPTION FOR U.S. HIGHWAY 380 WITHIN THE CORPORATE LIMITS
OF THE TOWN; DECLARING THE TOWN COUNCIL'S OPPOSITION TO ANY
ALIGNMENT OF U.S. HIGHWAY 380 IN THE TOWN THAT IS NOT
CONSISTENT WITH THE CURRENT ALIGNMENT OF SAID HIGHWAY;
REPEALING RESOLUTION NO. 17-29; MAKING FINDINGS; AND PROVIDING
FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has held three public
meetings in October 2018 relative to a feasibility study of expanding U.S. Highway 380 in Collin
County to a Limited Access Roadway; and
WHEREAS, previous public meetings earlier in 2018 did not include a bypass option for
U.S. Highway 380 within the Town's corporate limits; and
WHEREAS, on April 11, 2017, the Town of Prosper adopted Resolution No. 17-29 in
support of the current alignment of U.S. Highway 380 expanding to a Limited Access Roadway
(LAR); and
WHEREAS, the Town's Thoroughfare Plan, adopted after multiple public hearings and
intensive citizen input, depicts U.S. Highway 380 along its current route; and
WHEREAS, TxDOT now shows a bypass option for U.S. Highway 380 within the Town's
corporate limits, outside the current alignment of U.S. Highway 380, such bypass option now
known as Red Alignment Option B; and
WHEREAS, Red Alignment Option B was shown by TxDOT as an alternative without
effective public input from the residents of Prosper, and the failure to receive such input has
resulted in a seriously flawed recommendation by TxDOT; and
WHEREAS, Red Alignment Option B is totally inconsistent with the Town's adopted
Thoroughfare Plan; and
WHEREAS, by this Resolution, the Town Council desires to express its strong opposition
to Red Alignment Option B and the Town will not support such alternate; and
WHEREAS, the Town Council further declares its opposition to any alignment of U.S.
Highway 380 in the Town that is not consistent with the current alignment of U.S. Highway 380.

is not consistent with the current alignment of U.S. Highway 380 in the Town.
SECTION 4
TxDOT's Red Alignment Option B bypass alignment for U.S. Highway 380 is not in

Alignment Option B.
SECTION 5
