The designation of a portion of U.S. Highway 377 in Hood and Johnson Counties as the Bob Cornett Parkway

Texas HB2153 proposes to officially name a section of U.S. Highway 377, located in Hood and Johnson Counties, as the Bob Cornett Parkway. This designation aims to honor Bob Cornett, presumably for his contributions to the community or state. The bill has been introduced by Representative Shelby Slawson.

Supporters of HB2153 would highlight the importance of recognizing local figures like Bob Cornett, who have positively impacted the community. They may argue that naming a highway after him fosters a sense of pride and remembrance for residents and visitors alike.

Critics of the bill might argue that naming a highway after an individual could distract from more pressing infrastructure needs. They may also raise concerns about whether this designation is the best use of legislative time and resources, especially if it does not address broader transportation issues.
