Resident warns of cost and safety risks from proposed Salt Creek-area roads; March 9 public hearing set
Summary
At the Jan. 12 Wise County Commissioners' Court meeting, resident Carlton White Archer urged commissioners to oppose proposed new roads between CR 2123 and CR 3672, citing high costs and a dangerous intersection at CR 3672 and FM 199; County Judge J.D. Clark said the corridor is part of a 20–40 year Master Thoroughfare Plan and set a public hearing for March 9.
County resident Carlton White Archer used the Community Forum at the Jan. 12 Wise County Commissioners' Court meeting to urge commissioners to reconsider proposed new county roads that would connect CR 2123 to CR 3672 across Salt Creek. Archer told the Court the project faces “high construction costs” and raised safety concerns about the intersection at CR 3672 and FM 199 in Agnes.
County Judge J.D. Clark replied that the corridor Archer cited is part of the County Master Thoroughfare Plan and is envisioned on a 20–40 year horizon, not as an immediate construction project. Clark provided a county web link (wisecountytx.gov) for project materials and said, “there will be opportunities for discussion and feedback during the Public Hearing scheduled for March 9th,” giving residents a formal chance to comment ahead of any further design or funding steps. The transcript notes the Court will hold that public hearing on March 9 as part of the outreach for the steering committee plan.
