BASTROP — City Council wrestled with the needs of the community and requirements of a proposed mixed-use project along Texas 95 during its Sept. 8 meeting.
The Crossings at 95 would place 30 townhomes, two four-story retail buildings with 51 apartments and a restaurant on a 7.3-acre tract near the youth softball fields and senior center. The site plan calls for a dedicated left turn lane into the development, though no traffic impact analysis was included, drawing sharp questions over traffic and drainage.
“The idea that they will have a left-hand turn lane and they will ever get to turn left is absolutely unreasonable,” Pecan Street resident Heather Green said, citing traffic from nearby schools and impatient drivers cutting through neighborhoods.
