Those traffic officials admit the east
side is now overloaded with traffic, it's
the result, they say, of all the new
housing in the area, particularly in
Woodhaven, there were only two main
roads in and out of Woodhaven.
And with an average of thirteen thousand
vehicle trips on them each day, that
means traffic is backing up much of the
time.
Jim Meadows of the City Traffic
Department says traffic like this is a
result in part of a new popularity
for Fort Worth.
Many people, he says, have discovered
that Fort Worth has better roads and
streets than many mid cities areas.
So instead of moving, they have settled
in places like East Fort Worth and
the result is heavy traffic.
Officials say, though, the traffic flow
will ease eventually as more homes
and apartments go up, more streets and
access roads will be put in by
developers.
But for the time being at least, traffic
jams will be a fairly common sight in
East Fort Worth.
