(IR "#1312)
Mr. Sarsgard said , "I think many of you will be
iamiliar with the diamond interchange at Stemmons Freeway
and Inwood Drive in Dallas . The traffic is greater there
than the 1985 projection for Odom Road. " Mr. Dunham asked
if the areas served by the two interchanges were comparable .
He wondered if Odom Road wouldn't have more truck traffic
than the interchange at Dallas and don't trucks create a
worse condition than what approximately five cars would pro-
vide. Mr. Hoover said, "Could we not provide free u-turn
movement underneath the freeway when the diamond is rebuilt?"
The City Manager commented this is the presnet plan. Mr.
Kersnick said , "I think we should go ahead like we had planned ."
Mr. Sarsgard commented that, "We need to do something now.
The staff is divided on whether a cloverleaf is required and
the Texas Highway Department will not help finance thi- project ."
Mr. Hoover asked how much room do we need outside the corners
for the improved diamond and Mr. Graham said , "None. It can -
all be done within the Texas Highway Department right-of-way."
