• Abstract:
  The State Department of Highways and Public Transportation's (SDHPT) District 2 personnel are in the process of evaluating the proposed improvement of State Highway 199 which is located in northwestern Tarrant County. This highway passes through four small "satellite" cities (Lakeside, Lake Worth, Sansom Park and River Oaks) as it leads into Fort Worth and terminates at Interstate Highway 30 near downtown Fort Worth. Presently, the highway is a four-lane facility with undivided and divided at-grade sections that have no restrictions on access. The proposed facility is a full limited access freeway with or without service roads. Three alternate routes are being studied, and all three will affect the four satellite cities, Fort Worth and the rural part of Tarrant County. The route alternatives are as follows: (1) the central route - follows the existing route which contains considerable strip commercial development sprinkled with random vacant land and would require the acquisition of additional land, located primarily on only one side of the existing right of way; (2) the north route would bypass Lake Worth and Sansom Park almost completely and pass mostly through a large portion of vacant land area as well as several residential neighborhoods and (3) the south route would pass through parts of Sansom Park and Lake Worth and through vacant land and several residential neighborhoods. Most of the northern route and nearly half of the southern route would pass through the city of Fort Worth.
