Someone mentioned this a while ago, but I'd like to organize a meetup for members in the North Texas/DFW area. I'm not sure how many locals would attend, but I'm targeting mid-to-late 2026 or early 2027.
For a starting point, I'm thinking either Halperin Park (the new deck park over I-35E) or Klyde Warren Park(Note this could change with public feedback). From there, we could do a driving tour of local projects. Once I get more feedback, I can plan the most gas-efficient route. The projects I probably would include is...

Projects
635 East Project after is full late completion and is new tolled lane,
I-635/US 80 Interchange Project
US 380 Interim Project
The Dallas North TollWay Extension from US 380 to FM 428
I-30 Rockwall Expansion
I-30 Canyon Expansion from I-35E to I-45
I-35E Expansion near Carrolton
Southeast Connector
The best for last is the Loop 9 segment B.

I was just out there in November, but have more Texas sightseeing to do.  I'd be a "maybe" on this one.

I am just trying to see how many members are actually willing to do meet up on North Texas.

You're not going to get more than an "I'm interested" at this early point.  Once interest is expressed, hosts typically put up a poll of possible dates to see which one the most people will come on (at least on the forum).  Commitments come much later and there are always no-shows for legit reasons.

no-shows for legit reasons

Does my decade-long deep-seated desire to avoid Dallas at all costs count as legit?

Without an exact date and time, all I can say is "I'm interested".

Only if you own some sort of Philadelphia Eagles paraphernalia.
