Loop 9 is a phased-in public toll road first hatched in the late 1950s, and was originally proposed to be a feeder route to alleviate Interstate 20 traffic. The toll road is projected to pass through Lancaster, Glenn Heights, DeSoto, Ovilla, Cedar Hill, Midlothian and places in between.
We now stand at a crossroads where it's being forced through our neighborhoods.
Position
Hundreds of home and property owners are unaware that a major toll road is slated for their southern Dallas and northern Ellis County homes, but the former editor at The Ellis County Press saw Loop 9 maps on the wall at Oak Leaf City Hall. "I became deeply disturbed by what I saw, the routes and projected pathway of this toll road drawn to completely swipe whole neighborhoods and homes," said Joey Dauben, who spent almost a decade at both the Press and DeSoto's Focus Daily News. "It was at that point where I said we have to stop this from potentially destroying private property rights of home and land owners."
StopLoop9.com does not oppose toll roads, but we do oppose any violation of private property rights.
