Mr. Molloy concluded the technical presentation by discussing the other public outreach tools. These include general public meetings at major milestones in the study, newsletters, a web site, and briefings to outside organizations. Congestion on SH 360 continues south of IH-20 now. Also concerned about not studying north of IH-30. At the beginning of this study, we will consider extending the study corridor up to SH 183 .
Funds are also limited.
There are limited opportunities for improvement on SH 360 between IH-30 and SH 183, but the study team will not ignore this segment. The Arlington Transit Advisory Committee will also have input on this segment. The IH-820 interchange kept the old toll road ramps in place for local access, and added new ramps for freeway main lane to main lane connections. This will have a significant effect on the amount of traffic using SH 360. The determination of whether SH 161 will become a tollroad is still under discussion.
