HIGHWAY
NLOSFRESNOS
Agreement Is Reached
With Committee on
Road Building

Paving on the old Alice and Pa
redes Line roads from a point 1000
feet north Of the Barreda-Point Is
abel road will be Q feet in width, nc
cording TO an agreement reached
Thursday morning by the commits
%sioners court with a road committee
Of the Los Fresnos community.
The first 1000 feet north from the
Barreda-Point Isabel highway will
be the standard 1s-foot width, and
from that point to the north line of
the Los Fresnos tract, approximate
~ -four miles. the paving will be 3
feet wide. The concrete will be
placed or the right side OF the road
going south, and will be so arranged
that IL can be widened to 10 or Is
feet later.
The committee representing the
Los Fresnos community was eom-
posed Of George l.. Coates, presi-
dent Of the Community club. w. W..
Moses. VIM. Kretz and August
Pfeiffer. Commissioner Laroche
and County Judge Dancy agreed
that both the Paroles Line and old
Alice roads would be similarly i'm
proved in the event il may be de-
cided to widen them in the future,
both roads to be widened at the
same time. Members of the COM
mittee expressed the opinion that
this arrangement would be agree
able 10 the community.
That section of the old Alice road
from the Barreda-P Point Isabel road
north TO the school house, a dis
lance Of 1000 feet. will be made full
width, and 1000 feet Of the Paroles
Line road in the Los Fresnos town
site will also be full width. These
sections Of thetwo roads carry the
heaviest traffic. and full width paw
ing was deemed necessary. Should
the roads be widened in the future,
the 9-foot paving will probably be
extended TO 16 feet.
Threats Of an injunction had been
made by a number OF Los Fresnos
residents who were opposed to 9-foot
paving, but members Of the commit
tee expressed the opinion that the
arrangement with the commissioners
court would prove satisfactory. They
also asserted that in their opinion
development of the northern part Of
the Los Fresnos tract and the IN
irrigated area extending north 20 the
Arroyo Colorado would soon require
the widening Of both roads to han
die the traffic that section can gen.
crate.
Several large development pro-
Jeots are now contemplated north OF
the Los Fresnos tract, it was stated.
and the entire area is expected to
come under development within a
few years.
The 9-foot pavement in Los Fres-
nos will be the first of that width
to be constructed in Cameron coun-
ty. The major part Of the highway
TO be constructed under the new
program will be 16 feet in width.
