SEMINOLE – In the presence of a standing-room-only crowd, residents of Seminole spoke passionately against Texas Department of Transportation’s (TxDOT) proposed one-way relief route, and the city council listened intently. As a result, no one on the council, seated in front of the crowd of 100 plus citizens, made a motion to accept TxDOT’s resolution, and the much-debated issue died. The move was greeted with thunderous applause.
The relief route, first contemplated in 2018, has been a heated topic for the past several months, especially after the focus zeroed on in turning both Main and Second streets into one-way truck routes.
