Public gets a look at Oak Hill Parkway options by Bobbie Jean Sawyer
Gazette: Will Atkins
Joseph Carrizales of TxDOT talks Oak Hill Parkway options with Leigh Ziegler at last week’s Open House.
OAK HILL - The Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority and TxDOT rolled out nine transportation concepts for the ongoing Oak Hill Parkway project to attendees at an open house last Thursday at Clint Small Middle School. Mobility Authority staff was on hand to explain concepts, address questions and gather feedback from attendees. Wade Strong, a project manager with Rodriguez Transportation, said the concepts, which were developed by a team of about 15 engineers, were largely influenced by public comments. Much of the feedback was focused on protecting historic oak trees and Williamson creek and keeping a low elevation at the ‘Y’ interchange. “Those kind of comments we really took to heart and we had our engineers come up with a concept that will do these things,” Strong said.
Strong said the concepts would be narrowed and refined as the process continues. “We’ve heard a lot of comments in the past from some fairly vocal folks that they want a parkway, not a freeway. We’re trying to make it somewhere in between. Parts of it can be a parkway and for parts of it we’ll need to have some bridges and overpasses because there’s just too much traffic to run through traffic signals,” Strong said. “Our goal is to have a completely transparent open process and let the public have some input over how we are going to judge one alternative versus another.” Concept A: Depressed U.S. 290 Mainlanes Preliminary features: U.S. 290 below ground level east of the Y • Non-stop controlled access mainlanes with frontage road inSee PUBLIC on page 26

Cap Metro seeks to double fare for Oak Hill Flyer by Ann Fowler
OAK HILL - Capital Metro is considering doubling the fares for riders in Flyer routes, including the Oak Hill Flyer and Circle C’s new South Mopac Flyer. While Capital Metro officials called it a way to “streamline Capital Metro’s fare structure,” some believe it puts too much of a financial burden on Oak Hill transit riders. The changes proposed by transportation expert Nancy Edmonson, a former Capital Metro transportation planner, include a new fare structure to “improve equity and consistency across fare types.” Many Oak Hill riders fail to see the equity. Fares would rise more than 100 percent for Flyer routes, while increasing those for the Metrorail and Express buses by only 50 percent. Currently a 31-day bus pass to ride local buses, including Flyers, costs $30. Under Edmonson’s plan, Flyers would be put into a new “Premium” category. The pass for the 9-mile ride to downtown Austin would increase to $49.50 next year, and $62 in 2015. Oak Hill Flyer regular Ying Hong told the Gazette, “If the change happens, it is not worthwhile to take the bus anymore.” Hong works at 41st and Guadalupe. She needs a

She said, “If I drive, I could cut the time in half. The only advantage in taking bus is that it’s relaxing. But if it costs too much, then the advantage goes away.” Oak Hill transit riders are beginning to feel like Cap Metro’s proverbial red-haired stepchildren. Recent years have seen Oak Hill neighborhood service for the Oak Hill flyer service dwindle from five buses each morning and afternoon to two left to serve the Scenic Brook and Westcreek areas. While some riders have opted to drive to the Park and Ride at William Cannon and U.S. 290 West, many have chosen
to dump the bus and drive to work. Several riders told this reporter they intend to drive when the route change takes effect on June 9, because the earlier afternoon bus, which leaves UT at 4:20, will no longer serve the neighborhoods. If the proposed fare increase is approved, a study by the American Public Transit Association predicts a ridership drop of more than 40 percent, although some transit officials believe it will be closer to 25 percent.

I understand about growing old, and I don’t mind it, really. No, really, there are a few perks that tag along with decrepitude. Like being able to take a nap any time of the day without having to explain yourself. Or the well-practiced art of feigning random episodes of deafness when the wife has her chore list out. Oh, another biggie is the ability to dodge helping the neighbors with any heavy lifting. That’s a personal favorite. “Oh, look, hon,” says the wife one glorious Saturday afternoon. “That new couple across the street bought a new hutch. Go over and see what you can do. They need help getting that big ol’ thing out of their truck.” The glorious day turns dark. “Yes, dear.” I toddle over. “Hey, there, young fellah,” I rasp, sounding in the terminal throes of emphysema. “Need a hand?” “Well.

people to become Volunteer Deputy Registrars and help register citizens to vote. “Helping citizens register to vote is a rewarding activity that makes a real impact on our community,” said Travis County Tax Assessor-Collector and Voter Registrar, Bruce Elfant. To volunteer, you must be age 18 or older and must attend a one-hour training session. During training, you will review the qualifications to become a VDR, learn how to register voters correctly and be officially sworn-in. All training sessions are held the first Tuesday of the month, and the next session will be held June 4th. One-hour sessions that day will be held starting at 10:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. in the main Travis County Tax Office located at 5501 Airport Boulevard, Austin,

Leslie Answers — by Leslie Tourish, LPC
You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling by Leslie Tourish, LPC Dear Leslie, My husband and I will be celebrating our thirteenth wedding anniversary next week, which is great, but sometimes I think something is missing. We don’t do as many new things as we used to and we tend to get involved in our own projects and ignore each other. Sometimes it feels as though our relationship is stale. I love my husband, but that loving feeling isn’t always there. How do you keep a marriage from sliding into the everyday blahs? Signed, Love my husband, but… Dear Love, Falling in love is like opening a bank account. At first you make large emotional deposits in the relationship by spending a significant amount of time together and learning about each other by asking questions. You think of ways to please your beloved with romantic cards, dinners, massages and phone calls just to say you care. But as the newness wears off, and the relationship progresses from a courtship to a working relationship, many of those earlier behaviors began to diminish,
and often dissatisfaction in the relationship begins to shadow the couple. Your emotional bank account slips into the red. Willard F. Harley, Ph.D., is a California psychologist and author who has worked in the field of couple’s counseling for over thirty years. He has developed what he believes are the four Leslie Tourish, LPC rules for a successful marriage: The Rule of Care, The Rule of Protection, The Rule of Honesty and The Rule of Time. The Rule of Care states that you and your spouse fell in love because you both met some of each other’s emotional needs. The only way to stay in love is to keep meeting those needs. Dr. Harley said that even the most neglected relationships can improve dramatically when each person learns their spouse’s values, and the order of importance that the other
person places on their values. Then each person can begin to put effort into what truly pleases the other one, thus making deposits into the emotional bank account. With the Rule of Protection, you learn to avoid becoming the cause of your spouse’s unhappiness. All the gain you’ve created in your relationship can become a wash if you revert back to old behaviors that upset your spouse. Pay attention to how your everyday behaviors can be distressful to your spouse, and honor the other person’s feelings. Discounting their dislikes of your behavior takes away from the emotional bank account, and increases feelings of alienation and distrust. Promise to avoid being the cause of each other’s unhappiness, and do whatever it takes to overcome those destructive tendencies in order to protect your spouse. Almost everything each of you does affects the other one, and you have a choice to increase or decrease the odds of happiness by your actions. The Rule of Honesty is about as personal as it gets: you promise to be honest about your feelings, your personal history, your
advice current activities and experiences, and your future plans. All with complete honesty. Now many therapists and clergy argue that this may actually cause damage to a relationship, especially if it involves a past extramarital affair that may cause your spouse to suffer if they were to find out. Dr. Harley writes, “Self-imposed honesty with your spouse is essential to your marriage’s safety and success. Honesty will not only bring you closer to each other emotionally, it will also prevent the creation of destructive habits that are kept secret from your partner.” The fourth and final rule is The Rule of Time. This rule is what allows the previous three rules to exist. Without time you will not be able to meet each other’s emotional needs and you won’t be able to avoid being the cause of each other’s unhappiness. Time is also an essential element of being honest with each other. It is that ability to give each other your undivided attention that is the
essence and lifeblood of a healthy relationship. With time, there are no shortcuts. Dr. Harley writes, “I suggest that you spend time away from children and friends whenever you give each other your undivided attention; use the time to meet the emotional needs of affection, conversation, recreational companionship, and sexual fulfillment. When you were dating, you gave each other this kind of attention and you fell in love.” So, “Dear Love, but…” I hope this is helpful as you make inroads to deepening your relationship with your husband. Engage in these four rules and see if you have a better relationship next year at your fourteenth wedding anniversary!

Cap Metro seeks to double fare for Oak Hill Flyer Continued from p. 3
Ironically, no base fare increase is scheduled in 2014 for the Leander commuters who travel 26 miles to downtown Austin via Express bus or Metrorail. The 31-day pass for those riders will go up 20 percent in 2014. The following year the daily fare will increase by another 27 percent. Cap Metro also plans to eliminate the Metrorail zones so that all riders will pay the same fare. Officials said that decision was in response to customer concerns that the zone structure was “too complicated.� Oak Hill commuter Tom Thayer said, “I think it is interesting that they are getting rid of zones on the train, so folks in Leander pay the same fare as someone coming in from Crestview Station on North Lamar. Zones are more complicated, but are a more equitable fare structure.� He thinks that decision may cost the agency some Metrorail ridership. Compared with Oak Hill, which is within Austin city limits, Leander receives a wealth of bus service from Cap Metro: 25 southbound Express buses and 8 trains each weekday, with 28 buses and 8 trains heading northbound. Oak Hill receives rather less service, a problem local commuters say keeps the Flyer from gaining ridership. Northbound commuters have a choice of seven buses from 6 to 8 a.m., while seven buses serve the area in the afternoon from 4 to 6:20 p.m. On June 9, the timing will be adjusted somewhat to accommodate an 8:20 a.m. bus and a 3:40 p.m. bus. There is some good news for Oak
“I feel like the services provided by Capital Metro are getting worse and worse every year. It seems like the price is getting higher and higher every year even though the gas price has not changed that much.� - Cheyenne Dai Hill commuters. On June 9, the new South Mopac Flyer, #111, will start service, originating in Circle C and running through Western Oaks by way of Beckett Road, with limited parking in Dick Nichols Park and Abiding Love Lutheran Church. Two buses will run each morning and each afternoon. With the June 9 changes, riders like Cheyenne Dai had contemplated taking her car, because her 4:20 p.m. bus will no longer serve her Scenic Brook neighborhood. Staying at work an extra 40 minutes to catch the first bus into the neighborhood is inconvenient. She told the Gazette, “I feel like the services provided by Capital Metro are getting worse and worse every year. It seems like the price is getting higher and higher every year even though the gas price has not changed that much. I am definitely not planning to ride the bus if the price increases from the current one.� Several commuters who rode to Westcreek on the 4:20 p.m. bus were disappointed that the agency would no longer serve the stop at that
time, despite the fact that the bus drives by the stop on its way back to town. All agreed that staying in town an extra 40 minutes was not an acceptable solution. Thayer was surprised at the dramatic increase in fares proposed for the Flyer. He said, “Some fare increase is reasonable, but the 2015 fares seems to be a big increase for no real increase in service. I think this will affect ridership negatively on the flyers, express routes and train.� Fare elasticity, the ridership drop anticipated when fares increase, is to be expected, according to local transit officials. Just how much has yet to be seen. Transit officials point to higher fares charged elsewhere, but most of those appear to have many more “passenger miles� than Austin. The agency is hoping to gain $4 million in the fare restructuring. Capital Metro will reach out to commuters over the next few months to discuss these recommendations and get feedback. The Cap Metro board will consider adopting the fare changes next September.
Ten digit dialing June 1 in 512 Central Texas telephone customers within the 512 area code will need to dial 10 digits (area code + phone number) for all local calls beginning Saturday, June 1, 2013. The change is needed to accommodate new area code 737. Telephone providers can issue new numbers with the 737 area code beginning Monday, July 1, 2013. The new area code is needed to handle regional growth along with the added
demand for new wireless phone numbers and business landlines. The remaining available numbers in the 512 area code are forecast to last until late 2013. The all services overlay means current customers in the 512 area code keep their 512 numbers. New customers could be assigned numbers with either the 737 or the 512 area code. All customers are required to dial 10 digits for all local calls.
Area code 512 serves Travis, Williamson, Hays, Burnet, Lampasas, Caldwell, Bastrop, Lee, Milam, Mills, Coryell, San Saba, Bell, Fayette, Guadalupe, Comal, Blanco, Llano and Burleson counties. A coverage map is in the attached news release. The 512 area code is one of the four original Texas codes established in 1947 and served most of central and Continued on next page

New MUMC Pastor Manchaca United Methodist Church (MUMC) welcomes Associate Pastor Tracey Beadle, husband James, and their two daughters to the Manchaca community. Rev. Tracey is a graduate of the Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Austin. She will be ordained as an Elder in the United Methodist Church at the Southwest Texas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church in Corpus Christi
The Word Continued from p. 5 you’re charged 3.3 cents per kilowatt-hours, up 83 percent from 1.8 cents per kWh you pay between October and May. However, if you use 2500 or more kWh you’ll pay 11.4 cents per kWh, up 19 percent from the non-summer months rate of 9.6 cents per hour. So the more you use, the higher the rates go—but the summer increase is of a higher percentage if you normally use less energy. And that doesn’t seem right. ••• (Want your neighborhood association highlighted? Have a story you need to tell? Would you like to rat out a neighbor? If so, be sure to email me at mail@mikejasper.com and get the word out.)
in June. Pastor Tracey and her family enjoy roller skating, swimming, doing tricks on the trampoline, and pizza/movie nights on Fridays (actually, it’s the chicks in the family who mostly like these things—James is outnumbered). They all DO like playing games together, tickle fights and gardening and are looking forward to an assortment of vegetables from the garden they’ve planted at MUMC’s Community Garden. Since joining MUMC Pastor Tracey has developed a new worship service called Life On The Road that meets at 11:00 am on Sundays in the Family Life Center. Life On The Road offers “seekers, thinkers, doubters and believers” a relaxed worship experience along with modern contemporary live music, video and a scriptural based message to enrich and meet the challenges of our busy lives. Come and meet the Beadle family and welcome them to the community this Sunday. MUMC is located at the SE corner of Manchaca Rd and FM 1626 crossroads. Visit ManchacaUMC.org for more information on all worship times and activities, and get connected with a fun and loving community.

Ten digits required Continued from p. 8 south Texas. In 1992 the area code 210 was placed in service for San Antonio and the Rio Grande Valley region. The 512 area code territory became even smaller in 1999 when the 361 area code began for Corpus Christi and the Coastal Bend region. The new 737 area code will be the twenty-fifth area code in Texas and the first one introduced in ten years. Number conservation measures such as number pooling have reduced the need to launch new area codes as rapidly as it was done in the 1990’s.

From Boston with love:
Red Sox catcher reaches out to local injured softball player by Ann Fowler Late in the 2013 softball season, Dripping Springs High School softball catcher Aly Fowler was injured in a play at the plate. The accident occurred while she stood near home plate, waiting to tag a runner attempting to score. The runner fell on top of Aly, breaking her leg. Despite the injury, the 16-year-old held on to the ball and the runner was called out. Her parents, Doug and Karen, were unsure what hurt Aly more—the pain from her broken leg —pain that morphine could not diminish—or the bitter disappointment that her softball season had ended so abruptly. A letter from the Boston Red Sox was just what the doctor ordered. Aly said, “I’ve been a Red Sox fan for as long as I remember.” Aly’s mom is originally from the Boston area, as were her paternal grandparents. Karen said, “My family is still in Brockton and East Bridgewater and still die-hard Sox and Pats fans.” Doug has relatives— all Red Sox fans—in the Boston suburbs as well. A native of Southwest Austin, it was in Aly’s blood to
become a Red Sox fan. A few weeks after Aly underwent surgery to attach a metal plate to the broken bones, she received a letter from Boston. A family member had reached out to the Red Sox after Aly’s injury, asking if any of the players might send a note of encouragement to an injured softball player. It would have been understandable if a request on behalf of a young Texas softball player fell by the wayside. Boston had its own drama to deal with when, shortly after the request was made, two bombs exploded at the Boston Marathon, killing three and injuring hundreds. The focus of the city and its teams was, rightfully, on the victims and helping the city heal. The request could have been forgotten. But it was not. Aly was shocked to receive a letter of encouragement from Boston Red Sox catcher David Ross. Kevin Gregg, Director of Media Relations for the Boston Red Sox, told the Gazette, “We get a lot of requests from fans, however, very few are as specific and special as this one. When I told David about it, he

Red Sox catcher reaches out to local injured softball player Continued from p. 13 was more than happy to be involved.” Ross was born in Georgia and played baseball for the Florida High School Seminoles, the Auburn Tigers and the Florida Gators. Professionally, he has played for the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Pittsburgh Pirates, the San Diego Padres, the Cincinnati Reds, the Atlanta Braves and the Boston Red Sox. Aly told the Gazette, “[Ross] told me to keep doing what I love, be proud in the courage it takes to be a catcher, and heal quickly so I can get back out there.” She said, “I am inspired to take my position back and play it with more pride and presence.” She added, “I thought that it was really cool of him to send me a letter because I know they have a lot to worry about in their own lives. For him to take the time to write me was very nice and considerate.” Her parents agree. Karen said, “I thought it was extremely kind of him to take the time to send words of encouragement to a ball player he didn’t know.” Her dad, an assistant fire chief for the Austin Fire Department, said, “I am so happy for Aly—I am just speechless. I know how busy I am at work and to think a professional athlete with all the pressure to perform took the time to encourage a young catcher is just priceless.” Aly maintains a perfect 4.0 grade point average and hopes her grades and skill on the field will earn her a softball scholarship. Except for the game held on the day of her surgery, Aly suited up and attended every softball game played by the Lady Tigers after her injury, cheering on her team from the dugout. She recently traded in her leg cast for a walking boot. She is relieved to have more mobility and is anxious to start physical therapy so she can get back on the softball field. Her mom said, “Once she got through surgery, she stayed focused on the end result and getting through rehab, which started recently. Leaving the doctor’s office when she moved to her boot, I thanked her for being so positive and not once complaining about the cast.”
Karen added, “The letter from David Ross just gave her one more positive thing to think of coming up on the most difficult part of her recovery. For sure the letter will take a spot with the possessions she values the most. I would expect it to be hung next to the signatures of some great softball players she was fortunate enough to call coach over the last four years.” Aly shared the letter with some of her friends. She said, “None of them are Red Sox fans so their appreciation wouldn’t be the same, but they did see the significance of it and thought it was really cool.” Her dad isn’t a Red Sox fan either,
but he said, “I am most definitely a David Ross fan. What a very special thing to do.” Gregg said, “Without the incredible support of young fans and youth baseball and softball players, Major League Baseball and its clubs, especially the Red Sox, would not enjoy the success that they do now. I think it’s important for those in the game, whether in uniform or not, to continue to engage and appeal to its young fans. The Red Sox are proud to have Aly as a fan and thank her for her support.” Right back at you, Red Sox. Right back at you. Aly is Ann Fowler’s niece.

Custom floors, salsa and the one percent solution by Penny Levers
Local businessman Gary Raesz would prefer to send as little money as possible to the tycoons on Wall Street and he thinks it would be a great thing if other businesses followed his example. “Let’s give the money to the kids and the teachers where it’s needed,” says Raesz of Gary Raesz Custom Floors. “I can take credit card payments,” he says, “ but if you can pay us with a check, we donate 1% of the money to the school of your choice in your name.” Raesz came up with the idea to keep the money out of the hands of Wall Street during the TARP bailouts. “It is the consumer that is paying for these Wall Street scandals,” he says. He would much rather keep the money in the community than send the credit card fees to Wall Street. Raesz has a thick binder tracking the donations, along with thank you letters from all the schools that have benefitted from his 1% program. He would love to see other businesses follow suit. “There is a lot of money out there,” he says, “Imagine how much we could raise locally for schools if we had 40 or 50 businesses doing this.” Gary Raesz has been putting the floor underneath the feet of Austinites for 37 years. He attributes
his longevity in a profession that has seen many others come and go to discipline. “You have to roll up your sleeves and take care of your business, or else someone else will,” he explains. The Crockett High School graduate has deep roots in the Oak Hill area. He recalls playing baseball at the age of nine in the inaugural year of the Oak Hill Youth Sports Association. Those ballfields are just down the road from his business headquarters on Highway 71 just west of the “Y”. Raesz’s company has put in the floors for some of the swankiest properties in the Austin area, and is currently doing a lot of work at the 56-story Austonion where luxury condos sell for anywhere from about half a million up to $8 million. But Raesz’s niche encompasses more than just the high-end. “We do the big house, little house, tree house, doll house, and give you a sample for your outhouse,” he says. With sons GW and Cody now helping out in the family business, the Raesz business empire has taken an interesting turn. A year and a half ago, the family began producing “My Chihuaha Bites” salsa and party dip. GW and Cody perfected the recipes and with rave reviews and awards from the Austin Chronicle Hot Sauce Festival under their belts, Call toll-free: 1-888-773-1664

It may vary in colour, shape, size, cost and appearance.
After decades in the flooring business, the Raesz family is also making a name for themselves in the specialty foods arena with My Chihuaha Bites salsa and party dip. l to r: Gary, Cody and GW Raesz their products can now be found in the produce section of at least 45 HEB stores located from Killeen to south of San Antonio. All of the HEBs in the Oak Hill area with the exception of the store at the “Y” carry “My Chihuaha Bites” . Gary Raesz is thinking of ways to market this product while again funneling money towards education.
“What I want to do is sell My Chihuaha Bites t-shirts at the schools, give all of the profit to the teachers and then have everyone who wears one at the football game get put in a drawing for a $200 scholarship, for them or their kids or grand-kids. It would be a win-win-win,” he says. With the Raesz determination, chances are “My Chihuaha Bites”
will be giving some more established salsas a run for their money. Raesz has a picture on his phone that he took a couple of weeks ago when he was having lunch at a Chinese restaurant. It is a strip of paper from a fortune cookie and it says “Anything you do, do it well. The last thing you want is to be sorry for what you didn’t do.”

St. Catherine of Siena is the first church in Texas to be designated as a Faith and Light Community AUSTIN â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In April 2013, Open Hearts Special Needs ministry of St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church became the first community in Texas to be recognized as a Faith and Light community. Faith and Light is an international organization (based in France) that connects people with intellectual disabilities, their fami-
lies and members of the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are excited to be recognized as a Faith and Light community, as we have been working toward this achievement for two years,â&#x20AC;? Diane Zbasnik, director of community ministries at St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This accomplishment signifies our commitment
to reaching out to people with special needs and their families and integrating them into the greater church community.â&#x20AC;? Faith and Light is designed to create faith communities made up of people with intellectual disabilities, their families and friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;particularly young people. It allows them to
meet together on a regular basis in a Christian spirit, share friendship, pray together, fiesta and celebrate life. For more information about St.
Catherine of Catholic Church, visit StCatherine-Austin.org, or to learn more about Faith and Light, visit FaithandLight.org.

Option 1: Extend west transition past Circle Drive This concept can be included with Concepts A through E. Mainlanes would go under Circle Drive and continue on. Frontage roads and mainlanes would tie together about a half mile west of Circle Drive.

POWER OF COMMUNITY
Concept E1: Minimum Improvements Preliminary features: • U.S. 290 improvements limited to William Cannon and the Y • U.S. 290 mainlanes go under new bridge for William Cannon Drive • Access to shopping center reduced • Shared use paths for cyclists and pedestrians may be included Concept E2: Minimum Improvements Preliminary features: • Improvements at U.S. 290 focus on William Cannon • U.S. 290 mainlanes go under new bridge for William Cannon • Parkway project would connect to 290 about halfway between William Cannon and the Y
Remember to keep extension cords and electric devices well away from pools, hoses, sprinklers and other areas where they could get wet. It’s a simple way to stay safe.

Cannon and Highway 71, to relieve congestion. The intersections are part of a series of improvements to U.S. 290, including dual leftturn lanes at RM 1826, the Austin Community College campus and Convict Hill Road, a center turn lane between RM 1826 and Convict Hill Road, pedestrian-accessible crossings, bicycle through-lanes at intersections. TxDOT public relations officer Kelli Reyna said that while the continuous flow intersections will be included in all the other concepts, they may be altered as needed. “The No Build option is the only one that will only use (continuous flow intersections),” Reyna said. “All of the other ones will have some sort of configuration of this. At some of the areas where you’re adding flyovers or things like that it’s not going to be in this exact configuration.” Reyna said the final concept would determine the fate of the continuous flow intersections. “This is a short term (fix). It will
be coming out at some point if we can get a long term solution in there, depending on what that long term solution is,” Reyna said. “If you choose one of the minimum improvements this will still happen. The minimum improvement will not change this. If you choose one of the other concepts it could potentially change it.” The continuous flow intersections are estimated to be completed in about two years, Reyna said. 2007 Alternative The 2007 Alternative was a plan originally proposed by TxDOT. The design, which included a three-level interchange with direct connectors at a 50 feet elevation, was met with apprehension by many in the community, most notably Fix 290, a grassroots community organization supporting a solution with a less height and a lower concrete footprint—such as a ground level parkway. Oak Hill resident David Worrel said he favors concepts which incorpo-
rate depressed U.S. 290 mainlanes. “I like the depressed option, even if it costs a little bit more,” Worrel said. “I’ve heard three different reasons why people didn’t like the 2007 alternative: You had aesthetics— just having high roadways, the noise issues and then people complaining about segregation between different parts of Oak Hill. The depressed option is definitely the most appealing for that reason.” Worrel, who said he often has to leave for work an hour early to beat traffic, said Option 1, which extends the parkway past Circle Drive, should be incorporated into the final concept to avoid bottleneck traffic at Circle Drive.
“Otherwise you’re going to have the same issue that you have at William Cannon today. It’s just going to happen at Circle Drive,” Worrel said. “If you add Option 1, it pushes it back to Fitzhugh Road where the roads are wider.” Beverly Montgomery, an Oak Hill resident and member of Concerned Citizens for a Safer 290 West, said the ‘Y’ intersection should be the main focus of the project. “There are some concepts that really don’t address all the problems. They address fragments. They address the William Cannon problem. They address the Joe Tanner problem. But the big problem is the ‘Y’ and they need to focus on that,” Mont-
May 30-June 12, 2013... 27 gomery said. Montgomery said traffic in Oak Hill is an everyday hassle for her and, without a timely solution, it will only getting worse. “I love Oak Hill, but Oak Hill has changed and if you don’t change you stand still. I think we have to do something,” Montgomery said. “They keep approving subdivisions but they don’t do anything for access for the people to get home.” The next Oak Hill Parkway open house will likely take place in the fall with workshops continuing throughout the summer.
