Steve Dixon, candidate, Place 1, FM Town Council

I drive on Morriss Road and Gerault Road regularly, and I rarely see anything I would consider a traffic jam or even a backup. So I understand when people question the need for making it a six-lane road now. I also agree that the safety of our children is an absolute must. When the Morriss / Gerault project does come before Town Council, I want to see verifiable data on our current traffic flow and have the traffic experts clearly explain the assumptions and modeling projections that show the need for the project. I also welcome citizen input, many times some of the best questions and ideas come from citizens who get involved in a particular issue. I am always interested to hear what our citizen’s offer as suggestions and solutions to improve our projects, and I look forward to the opportunity of getting my questions answered and listening to Flower Mound citizens regarding this project.

With that said, if I am on Town Council when the project is discussed I will consider all options and input. We have time to wait to start the project, we can consider doing the work in phases, we can start with the major intersections, we can wait until the River Walk project along Morriss starts, we can consider only do certain parts – and these are just a few of the options. Flower Mound citizens can be assured that I will carefully consider all options on each and every case that comes before me on Flower Mound Town Council.

Respectfully,

Steve Dixon
