Good article by Tricia Scruggs in Friday’s Tribune about the possibility of adding a new traffic light at the shopping center anchored by Brookshire’s.
Plenty of arguments on both sides, particularly from businesses sure to be negatively impacted by a new median. But anyone who has tried to navigate that stretch of Highway 80 on a regular basis knows this is literally an accident waiting to happen.
Personally, I’ve about given up on making a left out of the Brookshire’s lot. I crater easily and take the right over to 205 to get back home. It’s not the most convenient route, but it’s better on the blood pressure.
Anyway, here’s a little bad video taken by…uh…me to illustrate what a nasty bit of business this has become. (Okay, I promise to learn how to use that zoom thingy next time out.)
I usually go through Whataburger over to the park, then out on 9th. I never try to cross 80.
