Proposed concert venue on Fitzhugh Road cancelled!

[Jeff Newberry]

Folks,

     Many of us have long dreaded the traffic impact on our routes of the rumored concert venue to be built on Fitzhugh Road. Our man in the area Dan Colvin had done some exploratory work to reroute our double centuries that return on Fitzhugh at night, but things weren't really panning out. Fortunately they're not going forward with the plan. 

On a related note, I continue to believe that routes that return on Fitzhugh (such as the old HCR mainstay Johnson City Stretch) in daytime hours are no longer a good idea, but traffic quiets down substantially after dark. Russ Dorobek (our new RBA, for those who may not have heard) is committed to seeking out safer, less travelled roads. I'm glad that the Mueller Double route won't have to be sacrificed as it's my absolute favorite big day in the Hill Country.

This is great news, Jeff!

I have to imagine that the concert site developer realized that there was going to have to be a long and protracted legal battle with the landowners in the area to bring their vision to reality.  There are a lot of people who have paid a lot of money to live in an area they perceive as quiet and I'm sure they will fight to keep it that way.

These days you really have to get to the other side of 281 to get reasonably priced land in the Hill Country.  But that's neither here nor there.
