HomeMy WebLinkAboutResolution No. 82-14 Denton County Cities
WHEREAS population and automotive traffic have rapidly increased
in and near the City of The Colony in recent years; and
WHEREAS one of the major sources of traffic congestion in the
area of The Colony is State Highway 121, which is already inadequate
for the traffic load it must bear; and
WHEREAS anticipated growth and development in Denton and Collin
Counties will engender additional major increases in traffic along State
Highway 121 between Dallas-Fort Worth Airport and the City of McKinney,
resulting in serious threat of disruption to business activities and family
life:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. The City of The Colony finds that State Highway 121 is one
of several roads and highways in the area of southern Denton County
which urgently need improvement.
2. The City of The Colony supports and endorses the concept
of improving State Highway 121 between Dallas-Fort Worth Airport and
the City of McKinney, as a limited access freeway bypassing the existing
developed area in the City of Lewisville, such improvement to be scheduled
within the context of the State's 20-year plan, and further supports the
concept that all sections west of State Highway No. 289 be included in
the State's five-year plan.
3. The City of The Colony further supports and endorses rapid
improvement of State Highway 121 to a multi-lane facility designed to carry
increased traffic loads as quickly as possible.
4. The City of The Colony shall cooperate with all interested
parties in the public and private sectors to find and secure adequate
funding for highway construction and maintenance throughout the State
of Texas.
PASSED AND APPROVED ON THE 19th day of April, 1982.
