Here's a response from TxDot regarding road construction for Blue Mound Road and if it can be started sooner. This was their reply:
"Scott: I confirmed with staff that 2017 is the earliest this project could be awarded for construction. The Prop 1 funding is part of the funding package for this project. In addition, before a project can be constructed, an environmental public involvement phase must be completed. This is a federal requirement that is currently underway. The first public meeting should be held before the end of the year. Based on public input and further environmental review, a public hearing will then be scheduled to present more detailed schematic plans. Staff is diligently working on this project and understand the need for it. We appreciate everyone’s patience. If you have any further questions, please let me know."
Thank you,
Barbara
