Re: Proposed SH 114 Improvements
Dear Messrs. Hale and Elsom:
We are delighted to see actions underway to provide improvements to SH 114
that will provide our citizens with improved mobility. As you are aware, one of
the major corporate citizens in that area is Speedway Motorsports, Inc., which
operated the Texas Motor Speedway (TMS).
We are embarking upon a master planning effort for the entire area that
includes TMS and property surrounding it. The master plan will include both
land use and traffic impacts. It is imperative that you know of the concerns we
share with TMS about the ingress and egress at this major trip generator. We
look forward to working closely with you as we all work to address these
concerns and appreciate your willingness to do so.
In the meantime, we believe that your development of additional access lanes
on SH 114 between I-35 and FM 156 is in the best interest of all concerned.
We respectfully reserve our comments on the main highway lanes until we have
substantial information and details to offer constructive comments.
