TxDOT hearing comments focus on corridor opposition
Hundreds Attend Trans-Texas Corridor Public Hearing And Voice Concerns
Soon to pass the “Bong Recreation Area” for most stolen freeway sign.
Trans-Texas Corridor PING!
Wait I thought this road was a tin-foil hat pipe dream?
“Jorge stressed that although the I-69 project has been labeled the “NAFTA Superhighway,” it is being planned to accommodate existing traffic, not increase transit between the United States and Mexico.”
Uh Huh. Sure!
...the inclusion of existing highways like US 77 will be evaluated.Because of funding problems, Jorge added, the highway’s cost will likely be shouldered by private contractors, who might build toll roads to supplement existing highway lanes and allow for expedited travel.
They are already running out of money. And would it be a mistake to say they are looking at converting such EXISTING HIGHWAYS into toll roads to help fund their little scheme?
Making it sound like this plan got a resounding bill of support from the attendees. Not until you get down a ways in the article do you find that some folks might not have approved.
This sucker is a done deal. These meetings are just a formality. If every single attendeed disagreed stridently, this highway would still be built.
