No mention of that anywhere is there?
So because we’re near Mexico we’re not allowed to build road infrastructure! Really!
25, 000,000 people live in Texas. Have you witnessed the dead stop back-up on major Texas freeways as people were fleeing the coast and approaching hurricanes?
Dallas to Austin – 4 hour drive (takes longer than pre interstate days due to congestion)
As Gov. Perry stated, Texas needs a bigger interstate highway footprint; we need more lane highways between major cities.
Houston’s Port ranks with New York and Los Angeles ports. We need to be able to move products and people.
That’s what I mean about the Gateways not being all bad. The bad part comes in when they limit access to the highways by not adding local access in more rural along the route, which would be the true goal of the Wildlands Gateways, to limit access to rural areas.
Forgive me. I had thought you wanted comments on Perry's interview and to carry on an adult-like conversation.
I can see by dishonesty of the above comment that you had no such intention.
I'll leave you to spin your propaganda, alone.
I suggest you do a bit more research on that. Houston does not come near the ranks of L.A. ports (about 12 million container capacity) or N.Y. (about 5 million capacity). Houston (less than 2 million) is closer to that of Savannah or Charleston or Oakland, but smaller.
They do want to expand to take advantage of the Panama Canal expansion so Walmart can import even more cheaply. But that is some years away.
