FM2499 update: access to shopping centers closed
I was disappointed to see this. For the time being at least, the turn-ins to the shopping centers on FM2499 on both sides of FM3040 are closed (see red lines on the map). No longer can you drive southbound on FM2499 to turn left into Tom Thumb or Blockbuster. No longer can you drive northbound on FM2499 and turn left to get to Chili's or Cici's. Sure doesn't seem like this was necessary, since they haven't closed off the turn-ins for Northshore Blvd. or Lake Flower Rd.

With the new road stuff, I hope they fix the TURN OUT OF ALBERTSON's onto FM 2499 going NORTH. If we want to go north on FM 2499, we have to exit at the pizza place, turn right, then make a U-turn in front of Wendy's. Sort of. Hard to explain.
It looks to me like the closures are permanent. Which means to get into Chili's from NB 2499 will require turning left onto WB 3040, then turning left again at the car wash and winding back through the shopping center. And to get to Tom Thumb from SB 2499 will require a turn onto EB 3040 then left again into the TT parking lot. Kind of a pain, though we may get an extended left turn lane onto 3040 out of it which would be good.
