NO STOPLIGHT

Terri spoke with TxDOT. Here's the skinny:

There won't be a traffic light at our East Entrance to replace the flasher in the forseeable future, but we might see a turn lane within a year.

Somehow they'd widen the road or restripe it after the bridge headed west, which would allow a turn lane and hopefully you would have a reasonably clear shot.

They are aware of the danger BUT there's an issue: Barton Creek - they can't widen the bridge due to environmental concerns. (I assume the bridge was built in less-strict days.) The issue ISN'T funding.

On another matter, TxDOT said there will be a road cut north of the new Galleria, linking 2244 and 620; hopefully lessening some of the traffic on 71.

Building issues: well, let's wait till the new regs come out (very soon) and we'll try to get them and post the salient ones.

As for contractors or subs or workers - we have to be carfeul to praise the good and leave out the bad (avoid litigation!)

I can set up a link to a resource list if enough folks respond with details. To prevent wiley service providers from pimping themselves, I would ask that anyone who posts a recommendation include their address or lot number.
