Denton's Mobility Committee is gearing up for significant updates to the city's active transportation plan, with a focus on enhancing mobility in key areas, including the Malone University vicinity. During the meeting on May 28, 2025, committee members discussed the integration of community feedback into the planning process, highlighting the importance of addressing existing transportation corridors.
One major point of discussion was the condition of old bollard locations along Ector Parkway, Congress, and Old North. Committee members noted that many of these bollards are outdated or damaged, prompting a review of their effectiveness. Plans are underway to replace some of these bollards with more suitable solutions, such as road striping, to improve safety and accessibility. This decision comes after audits revealed that some bollards were being misused for parking, which hindered their intended purpose.
The ongoing audits will continue to assess other locations, including Windsor Road, to ensure that the transportation infrastructure meets the community's needs. The committee aims to provide further updates as the audits progress, reinforcing their commitment to creating a safer and more efficient transportation network in Denton.
