Why is TxDOT recommending a six lane facility for our community when the projected population for our community does not appear to support the need for a facility of this size?
During the course of this preliminary study, TxDOT staff and consultants along with input from the local community at public meetings and members of the community and technical work groups identified a proposed facility type. The purpose of identifying a facility type was to develop a corridor width which would be utilized during the course of this study. For the purposes of this preliminary planning effort, an Expressway 1 (approximately 450 ft of right of way) and Expressway 2 (approximately 250 ft of right of way) were utilized to develop the proposed corridor width of 800 ft which was then used during the development of corridor options. That said, this preliminary recommendation of a facility type does not mean that the ultimate roadway, if constructed, would be a six lane facility. Future studies could very well determine that a different facility type is better suited for the proposed outer loop. Future studies could even determine that a No-Build, or do nothing option, is prefe
