Will the expansion affect property values along the Morriss/Gerault corridor or in adjacent neighborhoods?
The provision of adequate transportation is generally regarded as a basic local government service. As such, needed improvements such as those planned for Morriss and Gerault would not be viewed as a negative factor relative to property values. The impact of roadway expansion projects on property values was evaluated for selected subdivisions adjacent to FM 3040, expanded from two to six lanes, and FM 2499, expanded from four to six lanes between Spinks and FM 1171.
