Has the proposed project encountered, or is it likely to encounter, any significant opposition or other obstacles based on environmental or other types of concern? If yes, please describe. No. A public meeting was held and concern was expressed about the number of trees that will need to be removed during construction. Describe the economic, environmental, congestion mitigation, and safety benefits associated with completion of the project. Environmental: Numerous trees will be removed, but the City is budgeting about $500,000 for landscaping to minimize the impact. Congestion Mitigation: Two all-way stops~ will be replaced with traffic signals. This will improve traffic flow and decrease travel time. The improvements will also increase the intersection capaci~, of the Denton Tap and Sandy Lake intersection. There are two lanes that approach the intersection from the east heading west. When they reach this intersection, there is only one through lane so the outside lane is forced to turn right. This causes about a quarter mile back each morning for motorists trying to proceed through the intersection heading west toward SH-121. Safety Benefits: There have been several accidents at an intersecting street 17. where a traffic light is proposed with this proiect. Also~ water routinely overtops the street causing a dangerous driving surface. The improved drainage will resolve that issue. Has the project already received funding through the State's federal-aid highway or transit formula apportionments or from other Federal, State, local, or private funds? If yes, how much and from what source? The proiect has been approved for partial funding in the amount of $1~300~000 as part of the Dallas County Maior Capital Improvement Program. 18.
