Pushback Against Proposed 380 Bypass in Collin County --
“We serve children and adults with disabilities and we serve veterans, as well,” said Priscilla Darling, co-founder of ManeGait.For the second time in three years, its leaders are mounting a defense against U.S. 380 bypass proposals.when TxDOT proposed a bypass that would've cut through a southern portion part of the 14-acre property.
When the proposal was rejected, “We thought that this was done,” said Zach Schneider, a member of Manegait’s board of directors.“This is worse, when you compare this proposed route to 2019, it’s worse. It’s closer to our operations and our covered arena than in 2019,” Schneider said. Under Segment B of TxDOT’s current proposal, the freeway and frontage roads would cut through a north portion of Manegait’s property.It would also affect several housing developments and schools in Prosper, including the Founders Classical Academy, a charter school in Prosper.“It would really change the face of Prosper as we anticipate it. It would change the character of the community and that's not what the residents want,” said Harlan Jefferson, Prosper Town Manager.
TxDOT is asking for public feedback on all proposed routes from March 22 through April 6. It emphasized to NBC 5 that no final decision has been made.
