The State Department of Highways and Public Transportation's (SDHPT) District 2 personnel are in the process of evaluating the proposed improvement of State Highway 199 which is located in northwestern Tarrant County. The highway passes through four small 'satellite' cities (Lakeside, Lake Worth, Sansom Park and River Oaks) as it leads into Fort Worth and terminates at Interstate Highway 30 near downtown Fort Worth. Presently, the highway is a four-lane facility with undivided and divided at-grade sections that have no restrictions on access. The proposed facility is a full limited access freeway with or without service roads. Three alternate routes are being stuided, and all three will affect the four satellite cities, Fort Worth and the rural part of Tarrant County. The study objective is to estimate the economic impacts of the proposed route and/or design alternatives for State Highway 199. The following impacts are to be estimated: (1) impact on existing businesses, distinhguishingbetween traffic-serving and other types of businesses, (2) impact on new development, (3) impact on employment, including that due to construction expenditures and loss of clientele, (4) impact on municipal tax revenues, and (5) impact on highway users.
