Constructions begins Monday on the new diverging diamond intersection. Supposed to take 25 months. Who wants to setup a pool to bet on when it's actually finished?
So the traffic engineers, TXDOT, city planners, I'm sure TTI, and some other important people can all say "look at our cool new super special intersection everyone" "We are the innovative leaders of progressive traffic design". Meanwhile ignoring the total disaster a mile down the road at Holleman/ 2818. Funny how there's no money for that cluster but there's money for this. Yes I drive both intersections at peak times and Stotzer/ 2818 is not near as bad.75AG said:

Just about every Holleman intersection is an issue, but the one at 2818 is beyond due for resolution. All of 2818 needs fixed yesterday - and the way student housing keeps going up, it will soon be almost impossible to drive to or through campus.CS78 said:So the traffic engineers, TXDOT, city planners, I'm sure TEEX, and some other important people can all say "look at our cool new super special intersection everyone" "We are the innovative leaders of progressive traffic design".

I think it's interesting, and hopefully proves that we can be smarter about existing infrastructure to move more cars than the alternative of huge expense to widen a bridge.

Seems like a bandaid to me. It still won't improve traffic flow on 2818 and the issue with all the apartments. I so wish they'd pony up and connect 40 with 47 and get all that traffic off 2818 all together.

Go around Easterwood, the fireman's training center, take out a few houses, give some old land owners some money. And voila! Less traffic on 2818.
Stupid, unrealistic and sarcastic. Come on man.....Stupe said:"Take out a few house"75AG said:

1. The only place that you could start would be where 47 hits Welborn Rd
2. There aren't a "few houses" in the way, there are neighborhoods expensive house on land.
3. This is such a stupid and unrealistic idea that I can't believe that I'm actually having a discussion about it.
