Trans-Texas Corridor PING!
If any of the TTC does get shot down (and there are too many billions to be spread around to think that it will), it will be because of Ric and Rick and their heavy handed technique.
And some politcians just aren’t smart enough to stay away from Perry.

I-87 in NYS goes through my old back yard. It is not a toll road, however. Old Rt. 9 was the only route to Canada prior to the building of I-87, aka “The Northway.” I-87 has provided a mix of results, depending on what’s important to whom. It’s a little different in that it goes through the Adirondack Park where there is very little development north of the Glens Falls area. The only city north of Glens Falls is Plattsburgh, which is close to the Canadian border.
Even though the old winding Rt. 9 has been widened here and there, it could never handle the truck traffic we have now, nor could it handle commuter traffic out of Albany. There are still bottlenecks at bridge areas.
I-87 has allowed communities that wish to remain small to do so. It has also allowed those who want to grow their area to do that. (Outside the Adirondack Park, anyway).
Traffic from Albany to Glens Falls has steadily increased, especially over the past few years, but it drops dramatically north of Glens Falls for the reason stated above. There are only hamlets between GF and Plattsburgh.
Houston PING
Audit TXDOT NOW!
Alaska is waiting. The Siberia-Alaska tunnel needs to be connected to something.
My position is TSR caused the RAGE. LOL!
If you’d only kept this to yourself.
Why the rage???
hehehe, rage is going to be the least of their concerns...
Maybe if we worked with them to find a way to just stop the project and never allow it to rear its ugly head again would help this end in a peacful manner...
I’m game to help that effort...
