Why did it take TxDOT so long to come to the no action recommendation?
Environmental reviews, especially for a project of this magnitude can be very lengthy and time-consuming processes. TxDOT received thousands of citizen comments on TTC-35, each of which was carefully read and considered. After analyzing the comments received on TTC-35 and information gathered during the environmental process, TxDOT staff reviewed the available options, and weighed each against the public comments we received. In the end, a no action decision was the right answer for the future of the I-35 Corridor, and for the citizens and communities along it.
