Interesting Update

Early last week, I was invited to a planning meeting with some of our engineers and managers. We discussed upcoming projects such as Pinery West and Sterling Ranch. There are dozens of developments going in all over the county. Tracts of homes along Chambers have begun going in. There are plans in review for the area between C470 and Aventerra. Not to mention the big future expansions of Happy Canyon, Chambers, Bayou Gulch, and the explosion of homes and commercial sites for those areas. It was extremely informative.

Closer to home (or to the "hive" I should say), that road expansion mentioned in "Conversations" (4/12), won't happen. Apparently, there was recently a citizen who "[strategically] purchased property along that stretch, specifically to block future expansion". At least that's how it was stated Tuesday. There was no further elaboration.

Although, expansion is actually still planned for everything west of the intersection. It will be widened to four lanes, eventually. Construction won't likely start within the next year. It will take take several years for the road work to reach the east end of the plans. Some ideas for improvements were mentioned, although not approved at this time. There may be a roundabout along the way at some point, but I might have misheard. It wasn't until after the meeting I realized I should have been taking notes. Not much of the meeting actually affected me in my position at work though.
