General Transportation Issues
The City of Hurst actively participates in the planning and design
of highway and public transit projects. Currently, Hurst is monitoring
the economic and social impacts of several highway projects regarding
design, environmental studies, right-of-way acquisition, and the
implementation/construction process to represent the interests of
our businesses and residents. We communicate to TxDOT the City's
needs regarding design trade-offs and choices, landscaping, medians,
turn lanes, access to current and planned commercial developments,
schedules, and environmental mitigation efforts needed to protect
Hurst's interests. City staff is monitoring projects affecting Precinct
Line Road, Airport Freeway, SH 26, and the SH10/820 Interchange.
The City also participates actively on committees that make regional
transportation decisions as administered by the North Central Texas
Council of Governments.
At this time the CIty does not have a designated bicycle facility or system. A section of recreational trail from North Richland Hills through Hurst to Colleyville is known as the Cottonbelt Trail System.
