Land Use Planning Projects
The Sustainable Development land use planning program provides support for a diverse range of mobility options, such as rail, automobiles, bicycling, transit, and walking. Studies range from infrastructure analysis, transit-oriented development station area planning, and market analysis to urban design guidelines and planning for complete streets.
Balch Springs Hickory Tree Road Project
NCTCOG is partnering with the City of Balch Springs to complete a corridor study of Hickory Tree Road, from Bruton Road to Elam Road (approx. 2 miles). The intent of this project is to support bicycle and pedestrian safety and access to destinations on the corridor, congestion relief, and economic development. Plan recommendations will address pedestrian crossings, sidewalks and shared-use paths along the corridor, and roadway configurations. This plan additionally supports an existing Safe Routes to School funded project for Floyd Elementary on the study corridor.
