I'm pleased to hear this. Am I correct in thinking that this is just a part of the plans that have been rejected? I want the whole thing thrown out and new people at TX DOT who might have a bit more sense.

The other day, I had a Kansas radio station playing--and those people up there are also unhappy with this huge "NAFTA" highway boondoogle. Not one caller had anything positive to say about it.

I hate toll roads on principle. We're being gouged by taxes left and right. As far as I'm concerned, the the only benefit all the people get out of that are emergency services, military funding, social security and roads.

The rest goes to people who didn't earn the money and bureaucratic BS which makes life more difficult.

I'm against *this* road because the gov't is taking land which doesn't belong to it. Stealing with legislative permission is still stealing.

Yes. The east Texas corridor is only part of the plan.

There was almost total opposition to the I-35 TTC plan during public hearings, too. Those hearings were nothing but a formality, TXDOT’s minds already made up. Protests all along the route were ignored.
