One thing that continues to bother me about the Trans Texas Corridor and the opposition to it is that we, those opposed, continually get branded as farmers and ranchers who are merely worried about the loss of land to eminent domain.
It is not just rural issue. Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio residents should see this as a waste of resources. As a Houstonian it concerns me because one of the causes of traffic congestion is urban sprawl. A superhighway outside of Houston will only cause more sprawl and more congestion? Some Houstonians see this raod as a way to ease evacuations. This is probably a reaction from Rita headaches last year. What they don't realize is that this road, and the distance it is away from Houston, will not ease evacuations. To just have gotten to where the road planned would have taken 12 hours during the Rita evacuation, North or West.
I could go on and on but it is obvious that more folks need to know about this project and undestand the real impact it will or will not have on them.
