TXDOT to hold Public Meeting in Eagle Pass on June 14th

(PRESS RELEASE) TXDOT will hold a public meeting on Thursday, June 14, 2018, at 4:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m., at the International center for Trade, located at 3295 Bob Rogers Drive, Eagle Pass, Texas.  The purpose of this meeting is to gather input from stakeholders for the development of the “Rural Transportation Improvements Program 2019-2022.”

U.S. Highway 57 and the completion of Loop 480 are at the city’s top of transportation priorities.  TXDOT statistics indicate that over 4,100 vehicles travel on Highway 57 every day.  Commuter statistics also show that Highway 57 has some of the state’s highest traffic accident rates in the highway system.

“The city council and I are committed to working with every local and regional government entity, including the private sector and our legislative delegation to push for increased State and Federal assistance for transportation and infrastructure projects that will help improve traveler safety, reduce traffic congestions, and support economic development,” says Mayor Ramsey English-Cantu.  “It’s important that our residents attend this public meeting and share their comments with TXDOT officials, so that the State takes note about our local and regional needs,” adds Mayor English-Cantu.
