Resident urges TxDOT to schedule overnight work after 517 intersection shutdown
Summary
During public comment Garland Copeland asked the council to push TxDOT to carry out the I‑45 at FM 517 intersection closure overnight (9 p.m.–3 a.m.) instead of daytime hours to reduce disruption for commuters.
During the public‑comment period, resident Garland Copeland asked the council to press TxDOT to schedule work on the I‑45 and FM 517 intersection at night rather than in daytime hours. Copeland argued that work starting at 9 p.m. through early morning would limit traffic impacts on commuters and that TxDOT should be urged to coordinate off‑hours work where possible.
Mayor Magliolo responded that he raises the issue each time he speaks with TxDOT. The council did not take formal action during the meeting but the comment was noted for follow up in future communications with the state agency.
