Locals chosen to Trans-Texas Corridor citizens’ advisory committees

The Texas Transportation Commission today selected members to serve on two citizens’ advisory committees for the Trans-Texas Corridor.

Area residents on the I-35 Corridor Advisory Committee include Karen Marstaller of Waco, Don Greene of Lorena and John Erwin of Hillsboro.

Each committee will advise the Texas Department of Transportation in the planning of two priority corridors. One committee will focus on Interstate 35 corridor and TTC-35, while the other committee will advise the department on the proposed Interstate 69 corridor and I-69/TTC.

The Corridor Advisory Committees represent a cross-section of community and business leaders, land owners, local transportation experts and other interested parties.

Additional committees also will consider specific segments of the larger corridors. Each of those committees may also have up to 24 members, which will be appointed by local entities or groups within the corridor segment.

All advisory committees will report their recommendations to the state transportation department’s executive director, Amadeo Saenz.

Let’s see if these Advisory Committees will actually take input from farmers and ranchers who live in where the proposed TTC is located. Remember now, the company that the governor has chosen is from Spain and Texas will reap no benefits of this. Farmers will lose their livelyhoods and family’s will lose land that they rightfully own.

Why is Cox’s Movable Type implementation so sluggish? I am growing weary of seeing duplicate comments in every post.
