TX: TX 288 Point Concerns and Additions

[CoreySamson]

TX 288 has seen a lot of changes lately due to recent development. Here are some updates for it I would make:

TX 288:
1. Remove point ChlRd. I question the inclusion of this point. It is a private plant entrance that I don't believe is being used by anyone on TM. Could be reduced to a shaping point.
2. Rename WalSt to CR290
3. Rename CR48 to CR48_S
4. Add point at CR 57 (new interchange under construction). I suggest CR57.
5. Add point at CR 48 near Iowa Colony (new interchange under construction). I suggest CR48_N.
6. Add point at Del Bello Boulevard (new interchange under construction). I suggest DelBelBlvd instead of Rodeo Palms Drive due to pre-existing signage (check July 2022 imagery).
7. Add point at Hughes Ranch Road due to a new interchange with 288's toll lanes. I suggest HugRanRd.

You could also make a case for a new point at Holcombe Boulevard due to new connector ramps, but I think in this case the US90Alt point is too close. The toll lanes also present an interesting problem as to whether they constitute a new route.

Thanks for the heads-up on all of this.

1. Remove point ChlRd. I question the inclusion of this point. It is a private plant entrance that I don't believe is being used by anyone on TM. Could be reduced to a shaping point.

I question its inclusion too. It dates back to the CHM days, as a (Select?) Numbered State Freeway, before full state systems got started. Online cartography was poorer quality back then, and GMSV was still pretty new to the scene. Low-res & poor visibility; we probably didn't make very frequent use of it back then.
No need for a shaping point there, as the road's straight as an arrow.
BALEETED!

2. Rename WalSt to CR290

Meh, shrug... Done!

3. Rename CR48 to CR48_S
4. Add point at CR 57 (new interchange under construction). I suggest CR57.
5. Add point at CR 48 near Iowa Colony (new interchange under construction). I suggest CR48_N.
6. Add point at Del Bello Boulevard (new interchange under construction). I suggest DelBelBlvd instead of Rodeo Palms Drive due to pre-existing signage (check July 2022 imagery).
7. Add point at Hughes Ranch Road due to a new interchange with 288's toll lanes. I suggest HugRanRd.

Implemented all of these recommendations on my local copy.
Looked around a bit for some schematics.

What's that at the far right edge of the image on page? Looks like this and this...
They also show up at the right of the top image at https://ftp.txdot.gov/pub/txdot-info/hou/sh288_us59/cr60_sh6.pdf.
Thus, also added CR64, positioned at the center of the future overpass rather than at the present RIROs.

You could also make a case for a new point at Holcombe Boulevard due to new connector ramps, but I think in this case the US90Alt point is too close.

Agreed re US90Alt. In my book, Holcombe is already 1PPIed into that point due to the way the diamond ramps & frontage roads are set up.

The toll lanes also present an interesting problem as to whether they constitute a new route.

The only places in TX where toll lanes are separated out into different routes are where numeric designations differ, such as TX130 vs US183, or TX161 & 190 vs GeoBushTpk, etc.
Otherwise, just considered part of the same route, like the I-78 express/local in NJ.
