The corridor, as envisioned, would consist of a network of brand-new "transportation routes"...
FYI: These "routes" are a.k.a. NAFTA superhighways.

If you'd like to learn more about a proposed new Texas toll road that would parallel Interstate 35 from the Oklahoma border to Mexico, you'll have a chance at a series of public meetings planned for North Central Texas and other regions.
Meetings in North Central Texas will kick off with one in Dallas on Monday, followed by others Tuesday in Fort Worth and McKinney.
Other meeting locations this month in North Central Texas include Bowie, Cleburne, Denton, Gainesville, Granbury, Hillsboro and Mineral Wells.

Trans-Texas Corridor PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the ping list. Thanks.

Opponents argue that the corridor would not ease major metropolitan traffic, but could bisect towns and farms. It would also drain communities along IH-35 through lessened traffic and relocation of businesses. It's probably the most congested Interstate highway in the US. A diversion of some of that traffice would be beneficial.

Call me jaded but I wonder how many suits in the Texas legislature have been "indirectly "buying up land around this boondoggle expecting to make a few bucks.

it would be in the public interest if more were known about this.
but television and newspapers abdicated their constitutional roles a long time ago.

What is, though, is the forcible taking of private land, which will then be turned over to a private for-profit entity.
Very, very, very un-Republican.

As long as the Factory Outlets don't relocate to the corridor, then my wife can use it as much as she wants when going up that way. :)
Honestly, I like those store too.
