MANOR — Two agencies will host an open house on possible improvements to FM 973 between Samsung Highway and U.S. 290.
The forum will be cohosted by the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization and the Texas Department of Transportation from 4-7 p.m. Wednesday, April 22, at Manor Elementary School’s Early Learning Center, 12904 Gregg Manor Road.
A virtual open house will be available from April 22 to May 26 as well.
According to officials, CAMPO and TxDOT are working together to identify safety and mobility enhancements as the region continues to grow.
The agencies are examining crash and traffic information as well as gathering feedback from the public about concerns along this section of 973.
Community members are encouraged to submit feedback in person, online, by mail or over the phone.
The in-person and virtual open houses provide opportunities for the public to learn about the project, ask questions and leave comments.
Last summer, CAMPO and TxDOT conducted an open house in Taylor to discuss possible improvements to 973 between Samsung Highway and U.S. 79 in Taylor, a high-traffic stretch that includes Taylor High School, Samsung Austin Semiconductor and three neighborhoods.
The virtual open house is at www.campotexas.org/get-involved/. For more, call 512-651-3964.
