Citizens pour over U.S. Hwy. 82 study maps at hearing
By BARBARA GREEN
Nearly 100 area residents attended a public hearing Wednesday in Nocona to review preliminary details of widening and new alignments for U.S. HIghway 82 between Henrietta and Nocona.
A similar number attended a Clay County meeting Wednesday night.
The Texas Department of Transportation is studying a 30-mile stretch of the highway that is two-lane undivided located from U.S. Highway 287 west of Henrietta to east of State Highway 175 in Nocona.
Purpose of the study explained TxDOT officials Wednesday is to develop a long-range plan to address future traffic growth including identifying options to expand from a two-lane undivided highway to a four-lane divided highway. It also will develop a schematic layout and cost estimates to guide future planning as funding becomes available.
Public comments will be accepted through Feb. 13.
Read the full story of the hearing in the weekend edition of The Bowie News.
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.
