Trans-Texas Corridor PING!

The overrun I-35 is a different animal. ...About 45 percent of Texas' population lives within 50 miles.

Well. Duh.

To the writer, that means he wants a bigger road/load in that same saturated area.

But obviously the road came before, and enabled, the growth.

So a long term planner would recognize the value of putting the new road more than 50 miles away from the current saturation. to offload future growth.

Now that diesel is so high why aren’t they talking more about rail? Houston tore up most of our rail for more roads but it seems like it would be cheaper and quicker to build than highways.

The best way to relieve truck congestion on I 35 is to build I 69.

All the trucks going up I 35 to Dallas to reach I 20 east and I 30 northeast will use the shorter/more direct I 69.

“traffic forecast to almost double in spots by 2025”

I suspect this is a gross misrepresentation of fact.

Look at today’s economy and the steep price increases across the board.

There’s no telling what things will be like in 15 or more years.

Could just be a fear tactic to get our money and property NOW before it’s all gone.
