Lampasas doesn’t need a bypass route for traffic

I am writing to express my dismay and strong disapproval at TxDOT’s solicitation of a feasibility study to see if Lampasas should have a bypass. This study no doubt has cost the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars for a problem that we do not have.
