County provides Outer Loop sessions

The fourth public meeting concerning the proposed Regional Denton County Outer Loop project was held Monday evening at the Denton Convention Center at Embassy Suites.

County officials and consultants laid out maps and design schematics at numbered stations, as people wandered between tables, asking questions about what this highway network could mean for their neighborhoods, while a prerecorded presentation played in the background.

“This study is really about balancing growth with environmental responsibility,” said Madeline Shepherd, outreach lead for the project. “We know Denton County is going to change dramatically in the next 20 years, and this is about making sure we do it in a way that preserves the land and keeps people moving.”
