TTC: Another sign of things to come
We recently mentioned the Trans Texas Corridor on this BLOG, and how it is also our issue. Apparently someone else realizes it because I saw this sign just south of town on Hwy 67.
While you want to check their website, you also want to check out CorridorWatch.org. They have information that is hard to find. Also check out this report and this article.
My opinion on this project so far is that it would be a disaster for West Texas. I am especially concerned that they are trying to pull the Port to Plains project into this mess, and that I-10 and I-20 will likely get "improved" into toll roads as part of the TTC. There has got to be a better way to build roads.

Hi James,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the linkage and your readers might also like to know that Texas A&M’s Texas Transportation Institute has just released information stating that there isn't a need for Tolls to finance Texas' highway building.
See:
from Reason to Freedom: No Need for Tolls, Texas A&M TTI Report
Texas Monthly: NOT NECESSARY TO TOLL, A&M EXPERT SAYS
San Antonio Toll Party: A&M Report says we don't need to raise gas tax or toll financing
I'm sure there's more and thanks for keeping people informed.
Best Regards,

Thanks M.J.
ReplyDeleteWe are trying to get the information out here. I saw another one of these signs today at 14th and N. Bryant.
It's amazing how much smoke and mirrors are part of this project.
