Convention road expansion is neither simple nor affordable. The capacity of RM 2222 is constrained by the 4-lane choke point west of Loop 360, between Loop 360 and Butte Blvd. This process allows developers to forecast a project can meet traffic flow-through volumes at intersections by adding additional lanes just at the intersections. Traffic flow elsewhere on the roadway may come to a standstill. The roadway between the intersections would remain at four lanes.
Assumptions made in the TIA about traffic distribution are questionable.
We concur with this recommendation. The total cost of improving the RM 2222 roadway from west of Jester Blvd. Between Jester Blvd. Further, it should be emphasized that obtaining environmental approval from Fish and Wildlife for such a project will be an enormous undertaking for which we can make no guarantee. The State of Texas Department of Transportation has no plan nor funding, through the proposed development build out year, to expand the capacity of RM 2222.
