The Beaumont city council held a workshop yesterday to discuss the Dowlen Road expansion
project, a project that has been planned for 15 years. During the workshop, Ward 2 Councilman
Mike Getz believes it is time to move forward with the project. Mayor Becky Ames believes the
timing isn’t right. The project would extend Dowlen Road from College Street to I-10. We
will talk to Mayor Ames about this and other city issues during her monthly visit around 8:20
this morning.
