Proposed Road Project Would Connect I-10, Highway 281

SAN ANTONIO
The construction of the road, which is also expected to connect Huebner Road to Highway 281, has been praised by a high-ranking Camp Bullis official for potentially limiting development near the military installation located near Loop 1604 and Interstate 10. In a letter dated Monday and addressed to San Antonio Mayor Phil Hardberger and Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff by Maj. Gen. Richard Czerw, he wrote, "This entire project appears to be a very positive initiative in terms of Camp Bullis."
So alleviating traffic congestion is helpful to potentially limiting development? Lets see what First American Commercial Property Group has to say about traffic congestion in a report done about traffic on 281:

..."Traffic congestion is an important factor in the perceived desirability of living in various areas."
..."The 281 north area is in very high demand; however, the amount of traffic you’d have to put up with by living out there is not. Now imagine if there was no congestion, the demand and value would skyrocket."
..."Also, by increasing accessibility, and improving linkages throughout the city, builders, developers, corporations and other business entities will be more willing to locate here."
..."In conclusion, the greater proportion of inter-corridor activity only helps stimulate all aspects of economic activity across a broad spectrum of industries, further allowing the growth of this far north central sector and promoting more overall development."

I know this talking about 281, but it goes for alleviating traffic congestion in general.
