Old Highway 20 got replace by 290.
I found out my wife's Aunt is part of the board. I guess you can say they represent Elgin. They were telling me that some proposals would be to have the route run along side to existing railroad tracks. If I remember correctly, the first steps were to connect the small towns. Then build out to ATX and Houston. I was also told of ideas for having camping and shower facilities at the park in Elgin’s downtown area.
Many people are starting to move out close to Elgin, yet still work in ATX. They talked to a developer at the initial meeting. He has plans for bike friendly development just outside of Elgin.
