TXDOT will be having town hall meetings and public hearings about the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the I-69 corridor. The schedule can be found HERE.
If you get a chance, read through the EIS. It can be found HERE. If possible, come to the meeting with specific questions and concerns. The more specific your concern is the more likely it can be addressed and not just shrugged off as a general comment. Ask direct questions if you expect direct answers. If possible, cite particular statements or parts of the Environmental Impact Statement.
If you are unable to read through the EIS attend the meeting anyway and listen to the concerns of others. If you have general concerns voice those as well. Let them hear you.
Yes, you need to attend. No, you will not get answers if you go to the meeting. What do I mean? Well, if past meetings are any indicator, TXDOT will do everything in its power to ignore your opinion. From booking meeting rooms that don't hold enough people so they can 'legitimately' turn people away, to publicly ridiculing people who stand up and voice opposition to the plan. Don't let them get away with it. They work for you and should be expected to listen to and answer your concerns.
Please attend! Forget about moratoriums and everything that happened last summer. Make sure your opinion is heard and recorded.
