That thing is a HUGE boondoggle up on 288.
I grew up in Denton and my parents still live there. I cringe everytime I visit and have to go around the SE loop or other streets like Bell Ave. The city engineers and highway engineers screwed the pooch on planning for the population increase. The roads are basically the same as when I left here in early 80's. But hey they have 2 new high schools and a new stadium and countless parks and feel good pork projects all over town.
