Texas Corridor Detour: Officials Nix Land Grab

Posted on Monday, June 16 at 10:22 by NAUWATCH

 

Opponents of a plan to build a Trans-Texas Corridor (TTC) road and rail system from Mexico to Oklahoma received welcome news this week, as Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) officials announced their strategy would no longer include building new highway routes southwest of Houston, a plan that would have annexed huge tracts of private land.

The $184 billion TTC project originally called for a 4,000-mile network of transportation corridors, 1,200 feet wide, to be built across Texas. The plan would have taken about a half million agricultural acres out of private hands, leading to a maelstrom of objections from Texas landowners.

    And yet, all governments and the big business mafia are still denying the existence of these plans. Google is also full of denials. Here in Canada, the propaganda machine is trying to persuade people that the whole scheme exists only within the wild imagination of the CoC.
