Draft Mobility Objective/Action Items

Objective:

FM 1960 is our primary thoroughfare and as such has experienced major increases in traffic congestion with the continued growth of the area..   Projections of increased population and traffic congestion will make the situation worse and that is a concern of the community.  The District will pursue partnerships with public and private entities to mitigate the congestion impact of a growing population while providing for transit development options.
