Several groups that sued TxDOT over proposed I-35 expansion projects have dropped the lawsuit, but the groups say they're not stopping the fight.
"We want a better project. We know that highway expansions don't work, that they just make traffic worse and lengthen commutes and kill more people and pollute the air and water," Greenfield said.
He argues a better solution would be having the interstate go around the central business district instead of going through it. "We need to look seriously at using other highways in the region as the interstate. We've also seen in those kind of situations the highway then that goes through town being repurposed as a more kind of urban environment," he said."All I-35 Capital Express projects are the result of thorough environmental studies and extensive public input. TxDOT looks forward to bringing safety and mobility improvements to the corridor through these critical projects.
