A 90 degree bridge would need to be constructed at Manor Road. The desire is to allow additional space for pedestrians and bicyclist. Another alternative covered is to build the HOV structure down the middle of both upper level bridges. John Rishling, UT Planner, stated that as far back as one year ago, the MIS IH 35 schematics showed 3 options to the rebuild would take the cemetery, go up in the air or take the practice fields. One of the collective challenges that UT and TxDOT has is that both groups are currently doing long range planning.
Continued communications is essential.
Mr. Rishling stated that in practice, they could not say that the fields were completely out of the question. Something has to give in order to move traffic through his part of the city. Of course they are not in the position to make that decision. The impact of the exits from the upper level structure. Schematics are available that show the big picture.
