RTC update: funding earmarked for Spur 399 and US‑380; county warned of rising congestion
Summary
Commissioner Webb told the court the UTP and 10‑year plan allocate major funds for Spur 399 and US‑380, cited roughly $17.17 million in regional funding, and showed congestion and population growth projections that place Collin County’s southwest corner in a high-congestion band.
Commissioner Webb gave the monthly Regional Transportation Council update and described how the UTP and the 10‑year plan are directing substantial funding to regional projects that affect Collin County.
He told the court that the packet showed about $17.17 million in funding to the region and highlighted priority projects including Spur 399 and US 380, and referenced planning for a McKinney bypass of US‑380. Webb also presented federal high‑speed rail environmental‑clearance mapping and 2050 population projections, emphasizing that forecasts show significant growth and that congestion maps place the southwest corner of Collin County in a high‑congestion zone: “The Southwest Corner of Collin County is in deep red,” he said.
Webb described the RTC as a large, 45‑member council that uses majority votes to set regional priorities and said the county has gained focus in recent planning cycles. He also distributed presentation pages (included in court packets) with maps and project lists showing active and planned projects and urged continued attention to regional coordination.
