The City of Longview is realigning the intersection of Estes Parkway, High Street, and Mobberly Avenue. Work started this year to convert the "Y" intersection into a "T" intersection. Part of this work includes extending Bostic Drive across Green Street and intersect with Mobberly Avenue. Currently Bostic Drive "T" intersects with Green Street, however not for long as the contractors have cleared the new extension as seen in the photograph below.
The cross street with pavement is Green Street. Because of the dirtwork the cracks in the street stand out. To see this kind of deterioration of a city street is shameful. Not even a seal coat! This is not isolated. If you drive through the neighborhood around LeTourneau University you will notice most of the streets are deteriorating. If this had been on the north side this would have been resolved and never allowed to deteriorate to this point. To see a street in this condition is a total embarrassment when I think of the city I love and call home. Shame on you Longview!
CoL is regularly messing up southern Longview. The planned reduction of Mobberly to one lane north and south with bike lanes is a good example. it is the main thoroughfare to LeTU and will be a traffic problem for Belcher Center events. Converting Green St. would have been a more logical conversion, if bike lanes are that big of a demand.
