Highland Village residents discuss the opening of the new four-lane road going through their neighborhood.
|
Since FM2499 has been opened last week to traffic
moving across Lake
Lewisville, Highland Village
residents have expressed concern about the
prospects of automobiles moving at highway speeds
near their backyards
and bike paths. Highland
Village and the Texas Department of
Transportation are responding to requests for
safety walls, signs and
other features to reduce
potential accidents and protect property values
on upscale homes just south of the lake. Residents
are asking the City
of Highland Village for
increased police patrols, four-way stops and
crosswalks to make it safer to navigate through
the heavier traffic
expected when FM2499 will
connect with Swisher Road in Corinth with an
official ribbon-cutting October 30.

As Flower Mound strives to protect its citizens
from harmful effects of
gas operations with
tougher ordinances and fewer variances, one of its
families fears no one can stop a proposed
facility they believe
threatens their health and
property value. The compression station falls
outside Flower Mound Town limits in area recently
released from
Bartonville's extraterritorial
jurisdiction (ETJ).
