Bellevue to get new safety lighting
Two traffic safety features will be installed this week in Bellevue according to the Texas Department of Transportation.
Adele Lewis, public information officer for the Wichita Falls TxDOT district, said poles, cables and warning flashers will be placed on the north side of U.S. Highway 287 at Hilltop Road. They also will go in on the south side of U.S. 287 at Farm-to-Market Road 1288.
The FM 1288 installation will take place on March 15 and the Hilltop Rd work on March 16.
Then on March 21 TxDOT will temporarily close U.S. 287 at night starting at 9 p.m. to string the cable across the freeway and attach the flashers over the main lanes.
These flashers are replacing the ones that were knocked down last year. U.S. 287 will have flashing amber lights as a warning.
Hilltop and FM 1288 will have red lights and require a stop for motorists.
This type of job will be postponed if poor weather conditions move into the area. Drivers should be cautious during these work periods.
The jury was seated on Monday and the opening day of testimony Tuesday only lasted four hours, before the panel went into deliberations about 2 p.m.
Two hours later the jury returned a guilty verdict on both charges. Wednesday morning the jury was set to begin discussion on Hall’s punishment at 8:30 a.m. with both sides offering evidence and testimony. Hall faces up to 10 years in prison.
The trial was moved to Denton County on a change of venue requested by Hall in March. After 16th District Judge Sherry Shipman read the verdict, it was reported Hall hung her head in disappointment and was later seen crying and emotional as she left the courtroom.
Members of the Bowie City Council will meet in regular session at 6 p.m. on May 13 in council chambers.
The meeting opens with a proclamation for Emergency Medical Services Week.
City Manager Bert Cunningham will report on recent rainfall problems, Smythe Street sidewalk project and the substation work.
There is only one item of new business an ordinance related to speed limits on specific streets. Public comments and approval of minutes wrap up the agenda.
