Funnel of Love, and FM3040, and thanks

How great is FM3040 now that it's 3 lanes from FM2499 to Edmonds Ln in Lewisville? Even at rush hour, I can now drive it in about 6-7 minutes what used to be the longest 4 miles in Texas. Great work, TxDOT. Thanks also to our current and former Town councils for getting this project moved up the list with some serious local seed coin.

The Funnel of Love reconstruction is coming soon. Haven't had a chance to see the detailed plans yet. Mayor Smith told me a few days ago she's really excited about the possibilities for better traffic flow around Grapevine Mills Mall, specifically another flyover to get us from 121 onto 2499. I think the Town should investigate spending more seed money to get the FM2499 component of the Funnel of Love reconstruction moved up the schedule.

Remember the good ol' days after the FM2499 flyover was built? You could exit off 121 and fly home all the way to 3040 without stopping for a single light. There was about a 2-year window after FM2499 was widened to its existing specs, before they built the Mall and added subsequent lights along our lifeline road.
