Title
A resolution expressing to and through the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and North Texas Tollway Authority the City Council’s support for Alternative 3 of the President George Bush Tollway East Brach Extension, and authorizing the City Manager to promote and advance said support.
Body
On August 14, 2025, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA) conducted a Coordination Meeting with a comprehensive review of three alternatives for the 11-mile extension of President George Bush Tollway East Branch from Interstate 30 to Interstate 20. Alternative 3 is well-suited to the City of Mesquite’s development goals and community protection priorities.
Specifically, Alternative 3 will protect the anticipated Airport East industrial development and route the proposed tollway improvements east of the Falcon’s Ridge and Falcon’s Lair developments minimizing impact on existing residents.
Lastly, if approved, the resolution and corresponding letter of support would be submitted as part of the public comment period aligned with the open house presentation that was conducted on September 4, 2025.
