Dear Mrs. Lowe:
STATE HIGHWAY ENGINEER
D. C. GREER
IN REPLY REFER TO
FILE NO.
This will acknowledge receipt of your letter of June 29, together
with a copy of the City's resolution requesting the Highway Depart-
ment to widen and improve F. M. 835 on Southeast Drive from East
34th Street to East 50th Street and on East 50th Street from South-
east Drive to Loop 289 East.
We appreciate your concern and your recognition for need of highway
improvement within the City of Lubbock, and will be happy to con-
sider the above needs at such time as sufficient funds are avail-
able to us for this type of work.
It might be well to point out to you that the improvement on East
50th Street to the Loop is such as not to warrant widening or im-
provement at this time, and probably for sometime to come.
However, Southeast Drive is fast approaching a volume such as would
warrant improvement and widening of the existing facility.
Yours y,
u
