When planned improvements to State Highway 66 from Rockwall to Royse City involved changing Royse City's historic downtown, citizens spoke up. Jim Hardin of the Herald-Banner tells what happened next.
Public resistance to the plans - which would have involved modification or destruction of historic architecture - resulted in the city council eventually deciding that the roads in downtown Royse City will stay as they are. The decision came as a result of a series of meetings and considerable community input.
