I had a meeting with the TxDOT Area manager this week about some on the issues on 620. They will be starting the striping Sunday to finish the current project. The right turn arrow on Lohmans should return shortly, the median installed between Lohmans Spur and Lohmans seems to be working although it has made another issue more obvious - traffic backs up into the Northbound lane from the light at Lohmans (it has been doing that all along but it's more obvious now). We are going to try to work toward two left turn lanes Northbound into Lohmans - although it may take a while.
Another issue is traffic turning left on 620 from Main Street in the Oaks. We are going to try to make that a 2 lane left turn also. Some of that I can do, some has to be done by TxDOT.
For those of you unable to attend, the Veterans Day presentation at the LTHS PAC was a great success! General Tommy Thompson gave a great address to the attendees, the school did an outstanding job and everything went very well. I am especially happy about the participation by the students and I think it is a great thing for them to see the folks that made and still make out County Great!Our Police Station Committee met again this week with the architect and contractor to finish the programmatic design of the new station. They also looked at the site arrangement and access points.

Last but not least, our Deputy City Manager, Chessie Zimmerman has turned in her letter of resignation. She is accepting a job with another local private company. I am sad for the City but excited for Chessie - she will be sorely missed. She has been an invaluable resource for the City and has given her all and has made many improvements in our quality of life. I wish her all the success in the world and hope she enjoys her new career. She will stay with us through he holidays.
