Boeker May 3, 1983 Page Two where needed. A 4-lane roadway with left-turn protection would be desireable through much of this area. Additional R.O.W. would be required in at least parts of this stretch of road. Longitudinal drainage and R.O.W. acquisition would not be eligible for Urban Systems funding. 5. Widen Highway 123 to accomrrDdate a left-turn lane out to Broad- way Street, and add a left-turn phase to the signal at this int~rsection for outbound traffic. Some work on longitudinal drainage facilities, not eligible for Urban Systems funding, would have to be done to accommodate the widened roadway. 6. Re-route F.M. 621 to intersect Highway 123 at Ebony Street, signalize this intersection if the traffic warrants it, and remove F.M. 621 between Tampico and Hays County Road to im- prove that intersection at Highway 123, or close off this intersection from access to Highway 123. R.O.W. required for this would not be eligible for Urban Systems funding. 7. Realign LBJ Street at Ranch Road 12 to line up with Bishop Street, construct required cross drainage improvements, and signalize this intersection if the traffic warrants it. R.O.W. required to realign LBJ would not be eligible for Urban Systems funding. 8. Construct/upgrade LBJ Street from about Walnut Street on into Hughson Heights to join up with existing street, and redesign intersection of LBJ and Hollahd to remove offset. This would involve paving, èross and longitudinal drainage improvements, striping and signing, and R.O.W. acquisition. Longitudinal drainage improvements and R.O.W. would not be eligible for Urban Systems funding. 9. Redesign and construct new intersection at LBJ, Chestnut and Forest Streets. A design has already been generated for this project and is awaiting funding. This intersection may also be a candidate for signalization if traffic volumes warrant. 10. Widen Comanche Street from Sessom to Hopkins to provide a western route around the SWT campus. This will involved paving, striping and signage and may required some R. o. 'N. acquisition, which would not be eligible for Urban Systems funding. Upgrading of this route would probably lead tG increased usage, especially after the existing route through the campus from LBJ and Sessoms to Guadalupe and Woods is closed, so that signals may be required along Comanche at Sessom, Hutchison and Hopkins. 11. Design and construct down~owh by-pass throughway. This is a long-term project requiring more funding than is available through Urban Systems, but some parts of it could perhaps be funded by this program. Phases or sections of the entire project
