ICYMI: Texas Says Quick Growth Demands Expansion of U.S. Highway 380, but Prosper Doesn't Want It
Prosper's population has swelled in recent years as more people leave Dallas and other big citiesThe way Kari Willis sees it, people ditch big cities for good reason. She traded Southern California for Prosper, a city situated some 40 miles north of Dallas. As many packed their bags and headed to what are quickly becoming suburbs, Prosper's population has more than tripled to just over 31,000 since 2010.
Two fire trucks were parked bordering the parking lot and the third, named “Tha Dawg House,” was parked just outside the fence around the gathering area. Food trucks and organizers, residents and business owners, all showed up to what had been dubbed the “Protect Prosper Pep Rally." They even hired a DJ and created a curated playlist with songs like AC/DC’s"Highway to Hell" or Limp Bizkit’s"My Way or the Highway.
These options are being considered in sections or"focus areas." Focus area two, the middle section spanning from CR 161/Ridge Road to SH 5 has only one option, E. Focus area three spans from SH 5 to FM 1827 has two options, either C or D. The online comment period for residents in the areas that would surround the proposed highway originally ended on April 6, but the deadline was extended to April 21, which spurred the Prosper organizers to hold the pep rally.
The picnic tables all had QR codes on the top that took residents directly to the TxDOT comment site so they could submit their opinions at the pep rally.Toney Parker, owner of 1 Stop IT Solutions and board member of the Prosper chamber of commerce was also at the pep rally against option B. “If they extend that leg across that corner, they’re literally cutting out a major percentage of the real estate inside of our town,” Parker said.
McKinney City Manager Paul Grimes also points out that option B’s bypass through Prosper is still mostly in McKinney.
