Re: Cresson: US 377 bypass

Growing up in Stephenville and spending most of my weekends in DFW, I cannot tell you how many hours have been spent waiting for trains here. This is so badly needed! I would really like them to upgrade the rest of 377 from Granbury to Stephenville to be a divided highway as well. It becomes divided...
