Among the different proposed options were: (1) adding a traffic circle at the Red River/Davis St. intersection; (2) Connecting Rainey St. to Cesar Chavez; (3) Adding a couple traffic lights; (4) Renovating the alley to the west of Rainey (behind the Van Zandt and Shore to the east, and behind 70 Rainey to the west); (5) Extending Red River St. further south, and having be either two-way or one-way traffic; and (6) closing off the majority of Rainey St. to vehicle traffic.
They ultimately found that the option that reduced congestion the most would involve extending Rainey to CC, Extending Red River St. through to 70 Rainey, and shutting down most of what we currently see as Rainey St. from non-emergency vehicles.
Though, I'm probably one of about 10 Rainey-area residents that would really support that sort of plan.... |
Thanks for the link. Gotta love these studies, spend millions and do nothing. Who gets the kick back? I hope it was at least done by someone who lives in town. I still say the Uber pick up point is the best and didn't cost big study dollars, just some common sense. I didn't think of it, just heard it thru the grapevine. The rest of us know where we are going, and want to get there.
