CONGRATULATIONS EAGLE SCOUT ALEC PECK!
By now our residents have been witnessing and experiencing the associated traffic delays with the construction of the medians on Hwy 6 running from I-10 to West Little York. TxDOT has been working overtime to stay on schedule and complete the work and already, despite the delays, the numbers of traffic incidents are decreasing according to TxDOT. So now the next logical question is, “when are they going to complete the work through Copperfield to Hwy 290?” Well according to TxDOT’s John Elam, North Harris County Area Engineer, the project has funding and calls for completing all the medians up to Hwy 290 by mid-2015. And then in a second phase, going from Hwy 290 all the way to Hwy 249 Tomball Parkway, to be completed in 2016. You can read more about it on the TxDOT website at: http://www.txdot.gov/inside-txdot/projects.html
