“Is it time for insurrection yet?”
That has been bantered about but, there’s a real serious mood out there and in here. The folks who stand to be most effected by TTC-35 might be the most angry.
Basil, Kansas huh? Guess they know it’s coming their way. People in OK have already chosen opt out.
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.
