Trinity River Project - Toll Road (Dallas, Arlington: centers, deal, business)

[portorro]

Mayor Mike Rawlings posted a question in his Facebook page (Mayor Mike Rawlings) about our opinion about the Toll Road Component of the Trinity River Project.

Feel free to go there and share your views.

I think its exiting our mayor is actually asking for our input.

My opinion its another boon doggle for Dallas sort of goes along with the entire program. They can spend millions on bridges people don't use and not fix streets and leaking water pipes

I've always found it interesting that DFW's entire modus operandi is to make it as simple as possible to leave their cities. - 2 tollways through Plano, tons of highways through downtown Dallas, 2 interstates around Arlington, and Ft Worth is just the same.

Now they want to build another tollway next to the river through downtown. It's like TXDOT runs the city.

The first city to shoot all this down and build a business base is going to clean up. The rest will have nice pockets of life but slowly die out as there is no reason to stick around the centers.

My opinon is that Dallas should drege the Trinity to something a bit more substantial and just deal with occasional flooding, like every city with a river running through it does.
