An environmental study is underway for possible improvements on MoPac at the intersections of Slaughter Lane and La Crosse Avenue. Residents had the opportunity at a meet-and-greet Oct. 24 to learn more about the planned improvements and provide feedback, according to Melissa Hurst, Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority community outreach manager.
"For the intersections project we don't know the exact cost [of the project] yet because we're just starting off the study. We're gathering all that data right now. There is no tolling component for either of those intersection improvements, so they'll be constructed and funded by the Texas Department of Transportation," Hurst said.
For each of the two intersections with MoPac included in the study, there are three proposed options to improve traffic congestion and safety: one involving building a MoPac overpass over the main road, one involving adding an underpass, and one no-build option.
"We're taking input from the community to see if there's another idea they'd like us to look into in that area," Hurst said.
