The Denton Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on June 11, 2025, focusing on proposed changes to local road classifications, particularly concerning Underwood and Corbin Roads. The meeting featured public comments from residents expressing concerns about the implications of these changes on their neighborhoods.

Kyle Eaton, a resident from Corbin Road, raised significant concerns regarding the removal of a section of Underwood Road from the mobility plan. He questioned the role of the consulting firm involved in the mobility plan, suggesting that their lack of familiarity with the area could lead to detrimental outcomes for local residents. Eaton emphasized that a substantial portion of Underwood Road lies within a floodplain, which complicates the proposed changes and could lead to further issues if not properly addressed.

Another resident, Kevin McKinney, echoed these concerns, highlighting confusion over recent changes to the road plans. He pointed out that the modifications could negatively affect the safety and accessibility of the roads in their community. McKinney also noted that the current speed limits and enforcement issues on Underwood Road were already problematic, raising concerns about increased traffic and safety risks if the road classifications were altered.

The public hearing concluded with the commission members preparing to address the residents' concerns and questions. The discussions underscored the importance of community input in urban planning decisions and the potential consequences of changes that may not fully consider local conditions and needs. The commission is expected to review the feedback from residents before making a final decision on the proposed road classifications.
