The waiting is the hardest part -- let's open up FM2499

Here's an e-mail I just sent to the Town website, via the "Have a Question" link? I'll let you know what I hear.

I thought the FM2499 construction was supposed to be done in stages, from south to north.

If that's the case, why are there still cones along the new lanes of FM2499 south of FM3040. The only thing left to do on this first stretch of widening work is to put grass or cement in the medians. Why can't they open the new lanes to traffic? It's been two months at least since the new inside lanes were finished, at least south of Northshore Boulevard? Why not open these lanes now?

I look forward to your response.

Thanks,
