Your Village in 3 minutes, 29 October, 15

Friends,

The following is the latest news:

Construction.

      Monday afternoon, there was a meeting with three of TXDoT's Chief engineers.  Held at their request, the purpose of the meeting was to discuss how Salado thought the construction was going for the last three months.  It was a to-the-point, put-everything-out-on-the table discussion.  Beginning with the change in schedule, to the frustration of Salado residents, to the loss of trust and integrity, to unreliable communication . . . . you can add to the list -- nothing was spared.

      The upcoming Town Hall, 10 November, 6:30 P.M. Intermediate School Cafeteria was also discussed. They are prepared to give you a detailed overview and answer your questions.  The point was made to be prepared for difficult questions and to give straightforward answers.

      TxDoT listened carefully and said they would continue to try to shorten the construction period.  They also said that special lighted signage will be all along I-35 announcing the Stroll and the exits.

      Tuesday, at 2 P.M., Alderman Michael McDougal chaired the TXDot/James Construction weekly meeting.  As you know, the traffic through our section of I-35 will be down to one-lane both North and South.  Halloween, part of the Salado Plaza Bridge will come down and traffic will be routed on the new I-35 detour road.

      Cement will be poured on the east side of the 2484 Bridge.

       The Town Hall was discussed.  Greg Malatek, TXDoT, will give the brief.  Mr. Mike Kilgore, President James Construction will attend along with other James Construction Personnel.

2.  Welcome Mary Poche, new Executive Director, Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Bureau

       A Reception will be given in her honor, 6 November, 5:30-6:30 P.M. in the Salado's Visitor Center.
