Frank:

TxDOT (memo below) has informed they are going to mark 4th Street as
four full lanes from Main St to Burkett St.  This will eliminate parking
along 4th St near Heritage Square on both sides of the street.  The
traffic volume on 4th St requires 4 full lanes and parking along 4th St
creates a safety concern.  Of course, there will be a right turn only
lane at Main St. The good news is they will be resurfacing 4th St from
Main to the East Loop which will be nice.

Subject: B 79 B, 4th Street Improvements

Casey,

TxDOT is proposing the make improvements to B 79 from SH 95 east to US
79. The work shall include milling, spot full depth repair, 2" hot mix
asphaltic concrete pavement and pavement markings. 

The existing section of roadway is striped for 4 lanes from Burkett
Street east to US 79. We are proposing to stripe the remaining section
from SH 95 (Main Street) to Burkett Street as a 4 lane section to be
continuous with the configuration throughout this entire section of
roadway. It will consists of 4 - 12' lanes and a 4' shoulder on each
side. Westbound at SH 95, the right lane shall be a right turn only lane
as there is only one receiving lane on the west side of SH 95. Please
see the attached sheet showing the striping configuration and the
typical section.

If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call.

Thanks,
Paula
