Loop 360 to Undergo Significant Changes

Friday, 11 November 2011 16:40

Loop 360, a.k.a. Capital of Texas Highway, will be undergoing significant changes over the next few years. Many intersections will be modified to prohibit crossing traffic, instead providing crossing access via “Michigan-left” style turns. Initial proposals call for the elimination of the shoulder in some sections of Loop 360 to accommodate acceleration lanes, decelerations lanes, and expanded cross-street medians.

Link to Proposed Changes

Your input as a bicycling stakeholder is essential to help sustain the bicycle access that Loop 360 currently provides. The current public comment period closes very soon: Monday, November 14th. Submit your input to TxDOT in one of three ways:

Scott Spark 40

"Scott’s Spark has been a racers' and fast trail riders’ favourite for years. The all-new 2012 bikes combine tighter and lighter framesets with adjustable aggressive terrain geometry. The rear end isn’t the smoothest, but gives twin remote lockout sprintability that the target market will love. The top alloy-framed 40 model gives an impressively rapid and responsive ride in both 26 and 29in wheel formats." Read the entire article.
