I attended the TTC-69 public hearing in Rosenberg. The public hearing process went as expected. Not a single person spoke in favor of the project. Everyone brought up valid points why the project was a bad idea. Did it help? Well, I'd like to think so but other things I heard at the meeting lead me to believe maybe not.
I showed up early so I'd have some time at the open house to visit with TXDOT and discuss the project. My general observation is that either the TXDOT folks don't know about their own project or they play dumb. Not sure which it is yet.
My general experience after speaking to TXDOT was one of receiving varying answers to the same question from different TXDOT people. I started talking about the "toll" aspect of the road with one rep who was adamantly against assuming this was going to be a toll road. After agreeing to disagree, he referred me to another rep standing next to him who then told me that, while officially it was still being considered as a free road, he was 99.99% sure that it would be tolled.
I'll post other observations in subsequent postings...stay tuned.
