>> Perhaps will be discussed at the up coming Town Hall meeting.
@deltadawn:
Changes to Hamblen including widening and adding turning lanes were recently discussed at a Forest Cove meeting and people went ape **** about it. A bunch of old codgers resistant to change were all whining and freaking out because its going to make it more of a "cut through". The way I see it is people are all ready cutting through and will continue to do so in droves (that is not going to stop).Why not make the whole thing safer and better for everyone including the residents and the people cutting through? The truth is Hamblen is falling apart, way to narrow, flood prone, dangerous and congested. It needs a complete makeover badly.
@ZMAN:
The townhall meeting was turned down because it would NOT do anything to improve Hamblen, only add a left turn lane at Forest Cove Dr. It did nothing to allow for the non-turning traffic to be able to pass by! The left turners back the traffic up to the golf course and no one can avoid the backup!
There were questions asked of Dave Martin about improving Hamblen or doing something about the dangerous situation at 494, but the response was the CoH Public Works is so we should contact about improving the condition of Hamblen and TxDOT is who to contact about getting a light at 494!
He said that the money he had to offer was strictly dedicated for the left lane project and since the majority of people in the community did not want the left turn lane, he would take it off the table!
If the traffic o in Kingswood is so bad, why doesn't the citizens agree to widening both Kingwood Dr and Northpark! Everytime the subject is brought up it's poopooed! Yet Kingwood is fine with 'improving' the left turning on Hamblen!
