Texas better do something about our highway system pretty darn quick! I live in Haslet and have to leave my house at 5:30 AM to get to work on time. The 820 2 lane is not going to support any more growth of cars!

The growth boom happening in the DFW area is not the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Many services are stretched to the limit, roads are pitiful, traffic increaingly abominable, good hospital care is not always available. Schools
are over crowded, with test grades very close to the bottom of scale. Why anyone thinks being like sardines in a small can is wonderful has some serious problems in their reasoning. Things of this nature put serious strains on all of the services available to the populance. Improvement in any of these areas comes straight out of the pockets of working people only! Fnding any "country" is impossible, only acres and acres of concrete. To make a long story short......this growth is NOT GOOD!

You would think that with all the additional people paying property and other taxes, the rates would go down? Nope. Is this supposed to be a good thing? Nothing to be gained except more crowding of roads and everything else. More crime. More smog this summer. Dallas can't even fix the roads we have now.

I am sure a big chunk of that growth came from Tarrant County and Fort Worth better expand loop 820 in every direction two lanes want cut it.
