“And you are...?”

Well, I am an native born fifth generation Texan.

But, back to the issue at hand, which is the TTC or some viable alternative. Those who are most virulently opposed to the TTC don't seem to offer up an alternative. So, I'll give you a shot at it - what's your proposal bub?

My proposal -- which I presented in person and as a graphic engineering (with cost differentials) presentation to the top TTC engineering staff -- is for a separate, much narrower, cargo-only corridor. That would would remove the trucks, along with their traffic hazards and wear-and-tear from our interstates, allowing them to handle much more passenger traffic and extending their lifetimes several-fold.

As compared to the full-width TTC as proposed, simply shortening the overpasses (required at every crossing of a closed-access corridor) would reduce their cost enough to provide for three to four times the proposed number -- greatly mitigating the interruptions of rural roads.

Same here, BTW...

By the way — I’m native-born sixth generation Texan, virulently opposed to the TTC.
