2025-28 R - Joint Resolution with Aubrey, Celina, Pilot Point, and Towns of Providence Village Urging TxDOT to Expedite Funding for Critical Transportation ProjectsJOINT RESOLUTION OF THE CITY AND TOWN COUNCILS OF THE
CITIES OF AUBREY, CELINA, PILOT POINT, AND THE TOWNS OF
CROSS ROADS, PROVIDENCE VILLAGE AND PROSPER URGING THE
TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND STATE LEADERS
TO EXPEDITE FUNDING FOR CRITICAL TRANSPORTATION
PROJECTS.
WHEREAS, the Cities of Aubrey, Celina, Pilot Point, and the Towns of Cross Roads,
Providence Village and Prosper are among the fastest -growing communities in North
Texas, experiencing rapid residential and commercial development that is placing
extraordinary demand on local and regional transportation infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, Farm -to -Market Roads 1385 and 2931, and U.S. Highway 377 are essential
transportation corridors that serve the commuting, educational, commercial, and
emergency response needs of our collective populations; and
WHEREAS, existing roadway conditions along these corridors —originally designed to
accommodate rural traffic volumes —have become increasingly unsafe and inefficient due
to high congestion, extended delays, and hazardous traffic conditions; and
WHEREAS, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is actively advancing
improvement projects for:
G FM 1385 (Phases 1-3), to widen the roadway from a 2-lane rural section to a 6-
lane urban facility;
• FM 2931, to widen from a 2-lane rural section to a 6-lane urban arterial (interim 4
lanes); and
• U.S. 377 North, to reconstruct and widen the existing facility to a 6-lane divided
urban arterial with raised median; and
WHEREAS, each of these projects has received environmental clearance and is
progressing through the design, engineering, and right-of-way acquisition phases;
however, all remain unfunded for construction and have "ready to let" dates set far into
the future —some extending to the year-2030, due to the lack of construction funding;
and
WHEREAS, the continued deferral of construction funding threatens the safety, mobility,
and economic vitality of the region, and demands urgent action to prevent further
deterioration of traffic conditions;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Councils of the Cities of Aubrey,
Celina, Pilot Point, and the Town Councils of Cross Roads, Providence Village and
Prosper, Texas, that:
1. The governing bodies hereby express their joint and unified support for the
immediate prioritization and expedited funding of the FM 1385, FM 2931, and
U.S. 377 improvement projects.
2. The governing bodies respectfully urge the Texas Department of
Transportation, the Texas Transportation Commission, and State
Representative Leaders to work collaboratively to accelerate the construction
timelines for these essential regional transportation improvements.
3. The governing bodies affirm that these transportation projects are of critical
regional importance and represent a top priority for our communities. We remain
committed to working collaboratively to raise public awareness, support
planning efforts, and ensure that the urgency of these improvements is clearly
communicated to state decision -makers and the broader public.
4. A copy of this Resolution will be forwarded to the Texas Department of
Transportation, the Texas Transportation Commission, and Legislative
Representatives, along with supporting documentation summarizing the scope
and status of the referenced projects.
