CAMPO officials said the study will use public input to help the agencies more clearly define and identify feasible improvements to make on Parmer. This process will include an analysis of previous plans and studies, current and projected traffic volumes, crash hotspots, environmental features, and other needs or concerns identified through public input. 

Get involved: Officials will hold the in-person public hearing on March 25 from 4-7 p.m. at the Rattan Creek Community Center for community members to submit official comments. A virtual public comment period will also open March 25 and close April 27.
