Argument Essay

I am very interested in the topic that i am writting about and it also involves me as well. I am going to write about the construction of highway 290 in Houston, Tx which is one of the major highways in the city. They want to expand the 3 lane highway ( on each side) to a 5 lane highway ( on each side). Though this may seem not significant the impact it will have on the city will be. I think that the this highways benifits outways the cost and negatives. Some say that all i will do is cause problems and frustration in the city, along with worse traffic. I believe that once construction is complete that it will help the flow of traffic and take some of the traffic off other major highways as now there will be more options and room for cars to ride. The question i am going to present is " Will the expansion of highway 290 in Houston benefit the city or hurt it?

This sounds like an interesting topic. Focusing on a specific road will help keep the essay narrowed down. I'm sure you can find news stories from Houston channels that discuss the issue and can survey or interview people you know on what they think about the construction.
