Dear Mr. Ratleff:
As a City Manager of one of the Cities in the 5th fastest growing County in the United
States, you are aware of how important transportation routes are to this County. With
our tremendous population growth, highways are no longer a matter that can be ignored.
We must plan today for more highways to relieve our few but crowded transportation
routes.
We are now in a position to take action that will foster new highways, promote new
business, insure good planning and relieve some of our crowded highways. This beginning
lies with our successful implementation of 2499 from D/FW to F.M. 2181. The extension
of 2499 from F.M. 407 to F.M. 2181 was just recently approved for study by the Texas
Highway Commission.
To be successful will take your help. We must provide for public input and support,
raise the required funds to conduct the studies, insure adequate right-of-ways and
provide for a plan that will be cost effective for construction. This will require a
consolidated effort of each City with the County providing the leadership.
To better inform you about the issues
Mayo , Councilmen, and C~ty Managers has been s~.t~.-_....~.::...~:.i~..e..:.ll0th m Commmmouers
