Motorists should expect intermittent delays during striping operations. View the project plans and details here: https://www.springvalleytx.com/429/Bingle-Road-Road-Diet

Spring Valley Village are even calling it a road diet. I bet Whitmire is trying to find a way to annex Spring Valley to stop it. 🤣🤣🤣

There is no marketing I'm more susceptible to these days than any company saying they don't use generative AI in their projects. I'm a sitting duck for that promise even if they're selling graham crackers or masking tape.

The future of Texas not looking too bright. Without oil, and with drought killing off agriculture, you have medicine in Houston, some chips & tech in Austin, not sure where the chemical plants head... but at least we are ensuring a well-educated workforce.
