Trans-Texas Corridor PING!
To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
Maybe we are learning from Alinsky’s Rules For Radicals. Maybe we come up with endless ways to slow down, gum up and screw up the marxist crap they are pushing down our throats. Resist resist resist.
We need lawsuits in all 57 states against the Kenyan to prove he is not an American.

IH 35 (TTC) is about a mile from my front door. I'm all for shutting it down, now not later.
This is one of the many Bush-Perry scams perpetrated on Texas.

I can sympathize with you about loosing property and having this huge corridor at your front door should it ever be built. But, on the other hand, I think you may agree that something must be done to add more highway capacity from the Mexican border northward. So, if not the TTC, then what would you suggest as an alternative?

Note to Texas:
If you want Mexicans driving Mexican Trucks into your state, keep them in your state. The rest of America doesn’t want them. Your “Corridor” stops at the Texas border.

No problem with that. If we could just get them to the OK, AR, LA border it would be nice so that the conjestion would be reduced.

WTF are you talking about? Maybe we should learn something from the radicals about getting in the lefties faces.
The Mormoms took on an impossible battle in CA for Prop 8 and won.

So, if not the TTC, then what would you suggest as an alternative? I won't be losing property unless some Muslim posing as a Mexican truck driver detonates a nuke in Austin. I'm for not letting Mexican trucks drive on my taxpayer funded roads and not letting illegal aliens across the border.
That's my alternative.

This defeats that purpose.

Well, when you stated that IH 35 (TTC) is about a mile from my front door” I assumed that you live in close proximity to the proposed corridor. Frankly, your response did not offer much in the way of an alternative. I agree that we (U.S.) must regain control of our borders and shut down illegals from entering. Also, I agree that Mexican truckers should be inspected and held to the same regulations as U.S. truckers. But, these issues and not one and the same as what to do about I-35 and creating more north/south capacity from the border northward. Want to try again? Come on, you can do it...

You don't even have a State flag on your non-existent FRProfile; why should we Texans who have fought the TTC in every conceivable legal way give your snores any credibility?.

Well, I am an native born fifth generation Texan.
But, back to the issue at hand, which is the TTC or some viable alternative. Those who are most virulently opposed to the TTC don't seem to offer up an alternative. So, I'll give you a shot at it - what's your proposal bub?

My proposal -- which I presented in person and as a graphic engineering (with cost differentials) presentation to the top TTC engineering staff -- is for a separate,
much narrower,
cargo-only corridor. That would would remove the trucks, along with their traffic hazards and wear-and-tear from our interstates, allowing them to handle much more passenger traffic and extending their lifetimes several-fold.
As compared to the full-width TTC as proposed, simply shortening the overpasses (required at every crossing of a closed-access corridor) would reduce their cost enough to provide for three to four times the proposed number -- greatly mitigating the interruptions of rural roads.
