BILLING CODE 4910–13–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Environmental Impact Statement: 

Collin County, Texas 

AGENCY: Texas Department of 

Transportation (TxDOT), Federal 

Highway Administration (FHWA), 

Department of Transportation. 

ACTION: Federal notice of intent to 

prepare an environmental impact 

statement (EIS). 

SUMMARY: FHWA, on behalf of TxDOT, 

is issuing this notice to advise the 

public that an EIS will be prepared for 

a proposed transportation project to 

construct an eight-lane freeway along 

the United States (US) Highway 380 

corridor from Coit Road in Prosper (west 

of McKinney) to Farm-to-Market Road 

(FM) 1827 (east of McKinney), in Collin 

County, Texas. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Stephen Endres, Project Manager, 

TxDOT Dallas District, 4777 E. US 

Highway 80, Mesquite, Texas 75150; 

Phone (214) 320–4469 or email: at 

Stephen.Endres@txdot.gov. TxDOT’s 

normal business hours are 8:00 a.m.- 

5:00 p.m. (central time), Monday 

through Friday. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

environmental review, consultation, and 

other actions required by applicable 

Federal environmental laws for this 

project are being, or have been, carriedout by TxDOT pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327 

and a Memorandum of Understanding 

dated December 9, 2019, and executed 

by FHWA and TxDOT. 

The purpose of the proposed project 

is to manage congestion and improve 

east-west connectivity and safety across 

the project area. The project is needed 

due to regional population growth, 

increasing traffic congestion, and crash 

rates higher than the statewide average. 

Project alternatives include 

improvement of the existing US 380 

alignment (a distance of approximately 

12 miles) and new location alternatives 

ranging in length from approximately 

14.8 miles to 16.3 miles that would pass 

through the communities of Prosper, 

McKinney, and New Hope, and 

unincorporated areas of Collin County. 

The proposed project would provide an 

access-controlled freeway with one-way 

frontage roads on each side within an 

anticipated right-of-way width of 330 to 

400 feet. The typical freeway section 

would consist of four 12-foot (ft.) travel 

lanes in each direction and 10 ft. inside 

and outside shoulders. Grade-separated 

interchanges would include 14 ft. ramps 

with 2 ft. inside shoulders and 6 ft. 

outside shoulders, with curb and gutter. 

Bridges and overpasses along the main 

lanes would have a desired vertical 

clearance of 18.5 ft with vertical 

clearance over railroads desired at 23.5 

ft. 

In April 2020, TxDOT completed the 

US 380 Feasibility Study for Collin 

County, which recommended an 

alignment for an improved US 380 

across Collin County. The Coit Road to 

FM 1827 section of the Recommended 

Alignment from the Feasibility Study is 

the basis for development of the 

alternatives to be considered in the EIS. 

The EIS will evaluate a range of build 

alternatives and a no-build alternative. 

Possible build alternatives include 

improvement of the existing US 380 

alignment, the Recommended 

Alignment between Coit Road and FM 

1827 from the 2020 US 380 Feasibility 

Study, and three additional new 

location alternatives that consider 

optional alignments through the Town 

of Prosper within the western portion of 

the project area and along the East Fork 

of the Trinity River within the eastern 

portion of the project area. The 

following 5 segments combine to form 

the new location build alternatives 

under consideration. 

Segment A connects Coit Road on the 

west and the future Ridge Road and 

Bloomdale Road intersection on the 

east. This segment follows existing US 

380 from Coit Road to near the 

approximate alignment of future Ridge 

Road where it turns north and connects 

to Bloomdale Road. Segment A was a 

component of the Feasibility Study 

Recommended Alignment. 

Segment B also connects Coit Road on 

the west and the future Ridge Road and 

Bloomdale Road intersection to the east.

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 239 / Friday, December 11, 2020 / Notices 80217 

This segment follows existing US 380 

from Coit Road to west of Custer Road 

(FM 2478) where it turns northeast to 

intersect with Custer Road and East 

First Street, then continues northeast to 

connect to Bloomdale Road at the future 

extension of Ridge Road. 

Segment C begins at State Highway 

(SH) 5 extending in a southeasterly 

direction across the Dallas Area Rapid 

Transit (DART) rail line and the East 

Fork of the Trinity River, then shifts to 

a more southerly direction east of and 

parallel to the East Fork of the Trinity 

River to connect to existing US 380 near 

FM 1827. 

Segment D also begins at SH 5 

extending in a southerly direction 

across the DART rail line and the East 

Fork of the Trinity River and continues 

in a southerly direction west of and 

parallel to the East Fork of the Trinity 

River connecting to US 380 near Airport 

Drive, and following existing US 380 to 

the east to FM 1827. Segment D was a 

component of the Feasibility Study 

Recommended Alignment. 

Segment E extends roughly along the 

alignment of existing Bloomdale Road 

through north McKinney beginning at 

the proposed intersection of Ridge Road 

and Bloomdale Road on the west and 

SH 5 on the east. This segment includes 

a new interchange connection with US 

75 and SH 5. The location of Segment 

E is constrained by existing 

development and existing and proposed 

utilities along Bloomdale Road. Segment 

E was a component of the Feasibility 

Study Recommended Alignment and is 

a common segment in all the new 

location build alternatives. 

These segments, when linked end-toend between Coit Road and FM 1827, 

result in the Purple, Blue, Brown, and 

Gold Alternatives described below. The 

Green Alternative to improve the 

existing US 380 alignment is composed 

of one segment (Segment F) extending 

from Coit Road to FM 1827 along 

existing US 380. 

The Purple Alternative is composed 

of Segments A, E, and D and is 

approximately 15.8 miles long. It 

represents the section of the 

Recommended Alignment from the 2020 

Feasibility Study between Coit Road 

and FM 1827. The Purple Alternative 

begins at the intersection of Coit Road 

and US 380 in the Town of Prosper and 

travels around the north side of 

McKinney turning south near US 75 and 

SH 5 to extend along the west side of 

the East Fork of the Trinity River to 

connect back to existing US 380 and FM 

1827. Grade-separated interchanges 

would be considered at US 380/Coit 

Road, the alignment’s departure from 

existing US 380 at future Ridge Road, 

Wilmeth Road, Ridge Road (McKinney 

city limits/Collin County line), Lake 

Forest Drive, County Road (CR) 1006, 

future Hardin Road (McKinney city 

limits), Laud Howell development, US 

75 (multi-level), SH 5, McIntyre Road, 

and at its connection back to US 380 

near Airport Drive west of FM 1827. 

Additional interchange locations may be 

studied. 

The Blue Alternative is composed of 

Segments A, E, and C and is 

approximately 15.6 miles long. The Blue 

Alternative differs from the Purple 

Alternative between US 75/SH 5 and 

existing US 380 east of McKinney where 

the alignment follows that of Segment C 

parallel to and east of the East Fork of 

the Trinity River. The alignment would 

connect back to existing US 380 near 

FM 1827. Grade-separated interchanges 

would be considered at US 380/Coit 

Road, the alignment’s departure from 

existing US 380 at future Ridge Road, 

Wilmeth Road, Ridge Road (McKinney 

city limits/Collin County line), Lake 

Forest Drive, CR 1006, future Hardin 

Road (McKinney city limits), Laud 

Howell development, US 75 (multilevel), SH 5, CR 338, CR 2933, and at its 

connection back to US 380 near FM 

1827. Additional interchange locations 

may be studied. 

The Brown Alternative, 

approximately 14.8 miles long, is 

composed of Segments B, E, and C. It 

begins at Coit Road and existing US 380 

and follows the existing US 380 

alignment to west of Custer Road where 

it turns north and east to travel around 

the north side of McKinney, connect to 

US 75/SH 5, and then follows the 

alignment east of and parallel to the East 

Fork of the Trinity River to connect to 

existing US 380 near FM 1827. The 

Brown Alternative differs from the Blue 

Alternative in the alignment from Coit 

Road to the future intersection of Ridge 

Road and Bloomdale Road (Segment B). 

Grade-separated interchanges would be 

considered at the alignment’s departure 

from existing US 380 west of Custer 

Road, at Custer Road/First St., future 

Wilmeth Road, future N. Stonebridge 

Drive, Ridge Road (McKinney city 

limits/Collin County line), Lake Forest 

Drive, CR 1006, future Hardin Road 

(McKinney city limits), Laud Howell 

development, US 75 (multi-level), SH 5, 

CR 338, CR 2933, and at its connection 

back to US 380 near FM 1827. 

Additional interchange locations may be 

studied. 

The Gold Alternative, composed of 

Segments B, D, and E, is approximately 

16.3 miles long and matches the Brown 

Alternative between Coit Road and US 

75/SH 5 where it turns south along the 

west side of the East Fork of the Trinity 

River to connect to existing US 380 near 

Airport Drive and then follows the 

exiting US 380 alignment east to FM 

1827. Grade-separated interchanges 

would be considered at the alignment’s 

departure from existing US 380 west of 

Custer Road, at Custer Road/First St., 

future Wilmeth Road, future N. 

Stonebridge Drive, Ridge Road 

(McKinney city limits/Collin County 

line), Lake Forest Drive, CR 1006, future 

Hardin Road (McKinney city limits), 

Laud Howell development, US 75 

(multi-level), SH 5, McIntyre Road, and 

at its connection back to US 380 near 

Airport Drive west of FM 1827. 

Additional interchange locations may be 

studied. 

The Green Alternative (Segment F) 

would widen the existing US 380 

corridor from Coit Road to FM 1827. 

Grade-separated interchanges would be 

provided at Coit Road, Custer Road, 

Stonebridge Drive, Grassmere Lane, 

Ridge Road, Lake Forest Road, Hardin 

Road, Community Ave., US 75, SH 5, 

Airport Drive, and FM 1827. 

The new location build alternatives 

share some common alignments, with 

potential impacts to wetlands and 

waters of the US, floodplain/floodway 

encroachment and need for 

compensatory storage, conversion of 

farmland to transportation use, 

residential and business displacements, 

cultural resources, wildlife/habitat, air 

quality, traffic noise, the visual 

environment, induced growth, and 

cumulative effects. The Green 

Alternative would result in potential 

residential and business displacements, 

including low-income and minority 

residents, and impacts to potential 

historic properties, community 

facilities, public parks (Section 4(f)), air 

quality, traffic noise, property access, 

the visual environment, and cumulative 

effects. 

The proposed action may require 

issuance of an Individual or Nationwide 

Permit under Section 404 of the Clean 

Water Act, Section 401 Water Quality 

Certification, Section 402/Texas 

Pollution Discharge Elimination System 

Permit; conformance with Executive 

Orders on Environmental Justice 

(12898), Limited English Proficiency 

(13166), Wetlands (11990), Floodplain 

Management (11988), Invasive Species 

(13112); and compliance with Section 

106 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act, Section 7 of the 

Endangered Species Act, the Migratory 

Bird Treaty Act, Section 4(f) of the DOT 

Act (49 U.S.C. 303), Section 6(f) of the

B. Privacy Act 

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c), 

DOT solicits comments from the public 

to better inform its rulemaking process. 

DOT posts these comments, without 

edit, including any personal information 

the commenter provides, to

II. Background 

On October 28, 2020, FMCSA 

published a notice announcing its 

decision to renew exemptions for nine 

individuals from the epilepsy and 

seizure disorders prohibition in 49 CFR 

391.41(b)(8) to operate a CMV in 

interstate commerce and requested 

comments from the public (85 FR 

68405). The public comment period 

ended on November 27, 2020, and no 

comments were received. 

FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility 

of these applicants and determined that 

renewing these exemptions would 

achieve a level of safety equivalent to, 

or greater than, the level that would be 

achieved by complying with 

§ 391.41(b)(8). 

The physical qualification standard 

for drivers regarding epilepsy found in 

§ 391.41(b)(8) states that a person is 

physically qualified to drive a CMV if 

that person has no established medical 

history or clinical diagnosis of epilepsy 

or any other condition which is likely 

to cause the loss of consciousness or any 

loss of ability to control a CMV.
