Is Midland Odessa Getting A Mega LOOP Around Both Cities?
From Loop to Loop and apparently BEYOND! Here in the Permian Basin, we've got Loop 250 in Midland and Loop 338 in Odessa. But, what if we had a 'Mega' Loop that went around both cities? That's exactly what the focus of The Permian Basin Metropolitan Organization was when they met Tuesday at Odessa College.
• MEGA LOOP WOULD GO AROUND BOTH CITIES
According to CBS 7, the third town hall meeting was held to discuss the benefits of such a loop. The loop would be constructed around the outer areas of both cities. Currently, Loop 250 goes around the city of Midland, while Loop 338 goes around the city of Odessa. Imagine a LOOP that would actually surround both cities.
• THE BENEFITS OF A MEGA LOOP AROUND MIDLAND ODESSA
Cameron Walker, Executive Director of the Permian Basin Metropolitan Planning Organization said the
People are very excited about the concept of building a road that will relieve some of the pressures in the region, like traffic on I-20, like congestion, and like crashes
He said the proposed loop would help with,
- Safety
- Economics
- Mobility
• WHEN WOULD THE LOOP HAPPEN IF APPROVED?
The current town hall meetings are the initial phase of this project. Meetings occurred in September of last year and this past May. According to the article, the second phase will be centered around location and funding.
• DO WE NEED A MEGA LOOP AROUND MIDLAND ODESSA?
What do you think? While each city has its own Loop currently, do you think we need a Mega or Super Loop around the cities of Midland and Odessa? And the other big question, how long would such a project take place?
