Bill Noble, executive director of Texans for Safe, Reliable Transportation, issued the following statement about the Texas Department of Transportation's announcement on the Trans-Texas Corridor 69 project:
“TxDOT clearly listened and responded favorably to public input about the I-69 plan. Roads and highways have long been prosperity-drivers in Texas and the I-69 route will dramatically enhance our state’s job-creation climate. Today’s announcement should please all but the most hardcore road opponents. A few Texans really do oppose new road construction and expansion. But most Texans want better, safer highways to safely and conveniently accommodate existing traffic and the 1,200 people who move to Texas each day. Just as the Interstate Highway system answered the needs of a growing state for the last 50 years, so too will the I-69 project meet the significant growth of our state for the next 50 years.”
