Wayne Ottoway1 year ago A. On-Demand Special Needs Services: Facilitate continuation and expansion of on-demand public transit services. Currently Texoma Area Public Transit (TAPS) provides service Allen 2030 - Chapter 3 - Mobility 10/6/2014 51 51 in Collin County including the City of Allen. TAPS operates demand responsive transportation, or on-demand door-to door service, including paratransit service, from any origin to any destination in the service area. The service is available to all citizens on a fee-for-service basis. Coordination of this service in conjunction with expansion of local and regional transit systems should be evaluated by the city in the future.TAPS does not service Allen or Collin County. There is s pickup service for elderly during weekday business hours provided by Denton County Transit. Other than that, no transportation services are provided.

Alvin Torosyan1 year ago In reference to the comments on trails, YES I agree we need to make sure that this town has safe bicycling passages. Major trail connection points seem to have stalled out and remained that way for years and years. For example, the connection on the south side of watters creek connecting to the Bluebonnet Trail by the Golf Course. Will this connection ever get finished in a timely manner or has it been forgotten completely? Could we put a pedestrian bridge over the highway here since this project has been stalled (seemingly by the golf course there in Plano?) for so long? Why are they delaying the project? (if they are?)The old dart rail that has been decommissioned yet pieces still remain in place overgrown with brush and unpassable....would it be possible to explore building a multi-use pedestrain/bicycle path that follows this route since the rail is no longer in use? Could this be expanded north and south? Another area of walking/biking trail that needs repairs is Mcdermott road between Highway 75 EAST to Greenville Road. the sidewalk is deteriorating rapidly. Look at Downtown Plano and see how they made their sidewalks nice and wide and smooth and flat. Why can't we have that? Its truly an awful experience just riding a bicycle down this sidewalk with all of the hazards.
