Recently I mentioned that I had written to SD 7 candidates asking where they stood on the F2 segment of the Grand Parkway:
I also have not heard from Joe Nixon’s or Mark Ellis’ campaigns, but I have heard from Dan Patrick’s campaign. He is taking the time to get himself up to speed on the issue and will announce where he stands on the F2 segment soon.
UPDATE: I have now been contacted by Mark Ellis’ campaign. When I get more information, I will pass it on.
Today I received an email from the Mark Ellis campaign:
Mark Ellis is opposed to any plan that would destroy the quality of life of our neighborhoods in Harris County.
Thus he is in favor of moving the Grand Parkway project north to Montgomery County.
Many Spring residents would like to see the F2 segment routed through The Woodlands (if it must be built), perhaps connecting with 242, since residents of The Woodlands will gain the most benefit from the new highway. Of course, The Woodlands favors the Grand Parkway being built through Spring.
So, here’s the current scorecard: Peggy Hamric apparently favors the F2 segment being built through Tomball and Spring; Mark Ellis opposes it; Dan Patrick is still studying it (I assume, since I haven’t heard anything more from his campaign); and I have no idea where Joe Nixon stands on the issue.
