To me that just solidifies my belief that Perry was more interested in creating fly throughs for foreign goods rather than helping the average Texan. (Limited access)
The TTCs would basically destroy any investments along standard trade routes opening the door for foreign company concessions along the new routes. (non compete clauses)
On the other hand, there are those that want the "road across Texas" to be a local road.
Based on the shortcomings of the Interstate System, we already know that won't work.
So, we can subsidize sprawl on one hand, and implement smart growth on the other.
