That left turn would be located halfway between the new signal at Lakewood Drive and the intersection of the two highways, aligned with the driveway at Bull Creek Market. When the zoning for the tract was approved in 1992, the owners signed a restrictive covenant with the City of Austin which required access from RM 2222 to be a right-in/right-out only driveway, with a solid median installed to prohibit left turns into or out of the property. The covenant was a condition of the approved zoning, and was recommended by the Planning Commission and City staff and supported by the surrounding neighborhoods. It was considered a matter of public safety at the time. Fast-forward twenty years: traffic on RM 2222 is worse than had been anticipated and plans to widen RM 2222 east of Loop 360 have been jettisoned. Left turns into the property would be at least as dangerous today as envisioned in 1992. TxDOT will be installing a median on RM 2222 east of Loop 360 as part of the Bull Creek bridge project. They will install a solid median unless the City agrees to amend the restrictive covenant to allow left turns. If the covenant is amended, TxDOT will install a left-turn cut in the median to accommodate the owners. According to the most recent traffic counts available fromTxDOT, approximately 27,000 vehicles travel eastbound on RM 2222 daily past the tract. The safety of those vehicles will be put at risk by vehicles crossing eastbound RM 2222 to turn into the shopping center, which is planned to be constructed and in operation by 2015. The left turns would also conflict with vehicles exiting from northbound Loop 360 onto eastbound RM 2222. Vehicles waiting to turn left from westbound RM 2222 will stack up as they wait for a break in the eastbound traffic flow. If more than 3 or 4 vehicles are waiting to turn, the queue will block the left lane of westbound RM 2222 and possibly block the intersection at Lakewood Drive, especially during rush hour traffic. Concerned that this left turn would create unnecessary traffic conflicts and decrease traffic safety, many area residents have sent emails to the Zoning and Platting Commission and the City Council, voicing their opposition. 2222 Coalition of Neighborhood Associations, Northwest Austin Civic Association, Courtyard Homeowners Association, and other area homeowner and neighborhood associations are also in opposition. The case was scheduled to be heard by the Zoning and Platting Commission and City Council in March, but has been postponed. The City Council hearing is scheduled for May 12. Area residents and anyone who travels on RM 2222 can still voice their opposition to this change. The easiest way to do so is to send an email expressing your opposition to the requested amendment to the City Council before their hearing. Below are the email addresses and case information which should be referenced:
