Year: 2009

The 50 Miles Per Year Asphalt Program will pave every mile of Collin County road within ten years. As the fastest growing county population in Texas and one of America’s fastest growing counties, Collin County’s swift transition from a rural scattering of farming communities to a major urban and suburban center has necessitated the development of such a rapid response road upgrade program. In its first four years of the program, despite major interruptions and infrastructure destruction due to natural disasters such as the 2007 floods, 201 of 500 miles have been completed. All this has been accomplished without increasing existing Public Works resources and funding.
