On Monday, the Transportation Policy Board, approved unanimously
a resolution in support of a non-toll US 281 from 1604 to Borgfeld should
Proposition 7 funding be authorized by voters.
The discussion on the resolution can be viewed online here.
Assuming Proposition
7 is approved by voters in November 2015, the Transportation Policy Board has
committed to using those funds to ensure US 281 will be a non-toll project. The
Transportation Policy Board also supported the continued inclusion of a High
Occupancy Vehicle / Transit Priority lane within the corridor to manage traffic
congestion in the future.
Finally, the resolution requests the Texas Transportation
Commission to take the necessary steps to allow US 281 to move forward as a non-toll
project, and to continue advancing the final design of US 281 to have
construction start as soon as practical on this much needed and long awaited
project.
A copy of the approved resolution is below.
