I am one of those most effected by TTC-35.

TXDOT’s stated objective is to relieve congestion, reduce pollution, and make travel safe.

Yet they cave in to DFW business pressure and continue to force everyone trying to travel north-south to pass through DFW.

The answer isn’t a mega-highway slicing through the heart of Texas to bring more traffic into and around the metroplex.

The answer is to improve other routes and divert traffic away from DFW.

It’s wrong to force virtually all north-south traffic into one bottleneck at DFW.

Why not widen roads to let traffic out of Austin/San Antonio go into Oklahoma and points north through Wichita Falls? Same for Houston to Paris to Tulsa/Kansas City.

TTC-35 is deeply personal for me, but it’s boneheaded for the state.

Stop right there!

IMO, that's all you had to say.

The more highways we build, the more people that will come, the more we will become a stepping stone for China, the more the whole state becomes like California or Pennsylvania, the more we become Mexico, the more we become less Texan.
