We need to share him with the other 56 states and let us get another gov. Yes I support improvement to our transportation systems in Texas. The roadways are behind schedule to get up with the demand that is being placed upon them. Fortunately they are moving something along but at a snails pace.
I also support transportation improvements. In fact, I am, at present, engaged in mapping out a least-disruptive ROW for an interstate through a region filled with National Register-importance archaeological sites.
My main objection to the TTC was that it was never a transportation design, but was a blatant land-grab concept that put every conceivable form of incompatible transport services -- plus non-transport services (utilities) inside a fenced ROW to maximize the amount of land acquired.
Just the cost of overpasses to cross the ROW would have exceeded he cost of a normal Interstate. One question the TXDoT PR pukes could never answer in public meetings was. "Where else in Texas do you build overpasses to drive over pipelines and underpasses to pass under power lines?" (That is exactly what every crossover on the TTC would have done...)
Perry's dumb@$$3$ at TXDoT would have been better off starting off with simple roads and sneaking in other features wherever they could get away with it. Instead, they showed their whole, greedy hand to start with, and the people of Texas shouted, "Not only NO, but HELL, NO!!" And, even then, dumb@$$ Perry wouldn't give it up.
We certainly don't need that arrogance in the White Hut!
