Wyman Williams: Highway Plans For Commerce, 'Lift A Lion"

Wikiwand

Commerce Mayor Wyman Williams discusses plans for highway improvements in Commerce under the county highway program approved by voters in 2016.  A loop around Commerce and a pedestrian bridge over Highway 24 are no longer in the plans, but rather the plans include two roundabouts on 24 that would slow traffic passing by Texas A&M-Commerce.  Culver Street would be narrowed from five to three lanes and made more pedestrian and bike friendly.  In his capacity as associate vice president of advance at A&M-Commerce, Wyman discusses the "Lift A Lion" program to help students with unpaid debts for housing and food return to the university this fall. 

John Mark Dempsey is the host of the public interest program The Blacklands Café from KETR News. Dempsey is also the play-by-play announcer for Commerce Tigers Football on 88.9 FM and on ketr.org.
