A few years ago- the Texas Department of Transportation (TX-DOT) made ambitious plans to build additional lanes on existing highways as well as new- proposed toll lanes.All this was to handle the forecasted increased cargo coming up from Mexico to Kansas City's foreign trade zones (specifically the KC Southern facility at the Old Richards-Gebaur Air Force base and BN's new freight facility near Gardner-KS).
Right of way for new pipe and rail lines were also proposed in the plan.
However- after a number of public forums on this proposal- the State of Texas has shot down the not-so-glorious "Trans-Texas Plan"- according to this story from the HOUSTON (TX) CHRONICLE.
