Potter County Rejects Route 66 Bypass Plan
Texas Highway Department routing for a Route 66 by pass was rejected by Potter County commissioners who proposed a longer western curve around West Acres Subdivision to spare homes. The county estimate shows the alternative adds about 1450 feet and higher cost, with four lane construction at roughly 16 dollars per foot. The meeting included West Acres developer Hugo Loewenstern and attorney W. W. Gibson among participants. The plan would split Highway 66 near Veterans Hospital and rejoin West Eighth Avenue, while the current route would remain as a business corridor.
