As referenced above, landscaping of the medians is planned to occur with this project to enhance the aesthetic quality of the Morriss/Gerault corridor. Due to the curvilinear alignment of the project and the presence of numerous closely-spaced intersections typical vehicle speeds in this corridor should be lower than along FM 2499 and FM 1171. Further, the projected volumes for the Morriss/Gerault corridor are considerably lower than those projected for FM 2499 and FM 1171. Though all three corridors are classified as major arterials on the Town’s Master Thoroughfare Plan, the Town anticipates that the Morriss/Gerault corridor will be the commute route of choice for Flower Mound residents living east of FM 2499, while FM 2499 will serve more regional trips.
