- W607292013 abstract "Since so many of the existing highways in Texas are being widened to expedite traffic more efficiently, the directly affected businesses and property owners are asking questions about the possible negative economic impacts of such highway improvements. This study is designed to determine the economic impact of widening a highway located in an urban area where the predominant abutting land use is strip commercial. A 6.7 mile section of U.S. Highway 80 in Longview, Texas, a city with a population of 70,311 in 1990, was selected for study. This section of the highway was formerly an undivided 4-lane highway, except for protected left-turn lanes at five major intersections, and had mountable paved shoulders which were used extensively for customer parking. The highway section was recently upgraded with a two-way continuous left-turn lane and curbs and gutters within the existing right of way. A new interconnecting signal system was also installed. The mountable paved shoulder had to be removed, and the original gutter openings had to be relocated further back on the right of way. The total cost of the project was 8.8 million dollars. Prior to construction, a preliminary study was conducted to estimate the economic effects of the proposed widening on abutting businesses and the City of Longview. The study concentrated on businesses abutting the previously widened intersections to estimate the effects of widening the remainder of the highway section. The findings of that study were used by the Texas Department of Transportation as a supporting document for the environmental assessment (EA) submitted to the Federal Highway Administration for approval. This study is a follow up study and was initiated prior to actual construction so that the construction period could be monitored and the economic impacts of the before and after construction periods could be estimated. The following impacts were studied: (1) impact on abutting businesses and properties, (2) impact on reduction of available parking, (3) impact on motorists using the highway, and (4) impact of construction expenditures on the local urban area or city. This study produced some very interesting and hopefully useful findings. These findings are also compared with those of the preliminary study and summarized in this report. Even though some negative impacts were found, especially during the construction period, widening this section of U.S. Highway 80 produced overall positive results on the abutting businesses and the City of Longview." @default.
