The plans to deny a traffic signal at the intersection of
Lake Conroe Village Blvd and Hwy 105 and instead install a raised median for
left hand turns lane onto Lake Conroe Village Blvd from Hwy105 while
eliminating left turns (westbound) from Lake Conroe Village Blvd to Hwy 105
must be halted. This traffic barrier will require all westbound traffic to
first turn right (eastbound) and conduct a U-turn in order to travel west. This
direction (west) provides access to schools, retail goods and services, banks,
healthcare providers and various other services that are west of Lake Conroe
Village. This change in traffic patterns will cause impromptu U-turns and
result in an inevitable increase in accidents at an intersection which has seen
previous serious accidents. The traffic study cited to justify the denial of a
traffic signal at this intersection is dated and stale at best. This TXDOT
study fails to consider the exponential increase in population of Lake Conroe
Village as well as the huge increase in traffic on Hwy 105. We are petitioning
for this project to be halted until more current study can be conducted. The
solution is a traffic light at Lake Conroe Village Blvd and Hwy 105.
I live within this niegborhood, this intersection must have a traffic light, all this does is move the accidents up the hill, this will make it very difficult to get to grocery stores, pharmacy doctors etc..
