Transportation
Denton County Transportation Authority
Residents of Highland Village, along with Denton and Lewisville, voted to initiate a 1/2 cent sales tax designated for a regional transportation system. The Denton County Transportation Authority provides bus service through the member cities and to downtown Dallas. DCTA's rail service, the A-train, connecting it's member cities to DART, is now in service. The Highland Village/Lewisville Lake station located at I-35E and Garden Ridge Boulevard serves Highland Village residents. DCTA RSVP bus service can be scheduled for transportation to and from the station, as well as on site station parking. Both local and regional passes can be purchased at the Highland Village Municipal Complex. Visit www.dcta.net for more information.
FM 2499 - Now Open
Section 4 of FM 2499 in Highland Village is open but still an active construction zone. The outer driving lanes are closed to traffic in various locations; delays and detouring during working hours are to be expected. The posted speed limit is 40 miles per hour and will be enforced. No parking is allowed in the construction zones. The contractor is cleaning up staging areas and working on punch list items.
FM 2499 Section 4 is a four-lane divided urban arterial from FM 407 to FM 2181 in southern Denton County. The roadway is a non-controlled access facility, 4.7 miles in length, with intersections at existing crossing roads. It travels through or abuts the City of Highland Village, the Town of Copper Canyon, unincorporated Denton County land, the Town of Corinth, and USACE land and water associated with the Poindexter and Hickory Creek Branches of Lewisville Lake.
Road Construction
FM 407 - Briarhill Boulevard to Chinn Chapel Road
The bid process for the widening of FM 407 from approximately 600' west of Briarhill Boulevard to approximately 600' west of Chinn Chapel Road (through the Highland Village city limits) has been delayed until all right-of-way (ROW) has been acquired and utilities relocated. The projected eligible bid date is now August 2009. If all issues are resolved in a timely manner, TxDOT could move that date up. This is a TxDOT and Denton County project. The City participates in the Precinct 3 meetings held by Denton County Commissioner Bobbie Mitchell and TxDOT. Click here for the most up to date information on area road projects.
