Trans-Texas Corridor PING!

[FearlessFreep]

I-69? Sure I do.

[E.G.C.]

BTTT

I like I-77 better because you get eight more.

[ArrogantBustard]

Heh ... They'd be constantly replacing stolen highway signs. There used to be a US69, that got its number changed because of that.

Amendments 5 and 9 were defeated, the other 7 passed....

The state is considering a Trans-Texas Corridor, separate from the Interstate system, that would be built by the private sector and paid for through tolls.

Say what?!? Why that's totally 'unrealistic' < /sarcasm>

Good for the state to turn road building back to who should have been doing it all along

[ArrogantBustard]

Huhhuh huhhuh ... Hey Beavis! He said "eight" ... Huhhuh huhhuh

I'm familiar with Hwys 59 and 77. Where does 281 go?

The highway isn't dead. Our elites have a Socialist Community of North America to build.

Cost means nothing to people who are just going to steal the money from someone else's pockets.

[Mikey_1962]

Its the most stolen sign in Michigan.

So every road should be a toll road? Unrealistic, especially in neighborhoods.

[Nextrush]

Back in the 90's I listened to the satellite feed (when I worked in TV) for the Arkansas Radio Network. They talked about a plan to build I-69 in southern Arkansas. If they ever build I-69 I hope someone in Congress offers to name it after America's only president from Arkansas. I-69 The Bill Clinton Way. Or something like that. Any suggestions?

Where does 281 go?

---

North from Corpus Christi to San Antonio, west of Austin and the DFW area on up to Wichita Falls and then on into OK west of Norman.

[Range Rover]

Someone objected to this one....

[TX Bluebonnet]

Thanks!

[Willie Green]

So every road should be a toll road?

Hey, mlc... I gotta deal for ya...
How'd ya like to be 50-50 partners in a toll booth investment?
We'll set it up just past billbears' driveway!
I figure we oughta make a bundle!

[TC Rider]

You're being cited for speeding on I-69!

[mlc9852]

And a lemonade stand! I love the entrepreneur spirit!
