I read this on another site. Anyone hear anything about this? read below.

>>>>TxDOT has plans for a trade route from Mexico up through Marfa and Alpine and on to the Midland Odessa area. If approved, the expectation is for a continuous parade of trucks through the area (noise & pollution and chipping away at the solitude of the region). I don’t want to get run over by a truck while trying to visit the Davis Mountains, nor do I want Alpine to become one big dirty truck stop, and so on.

Is this a part of Nafta?

Gotta love it. This is still not as bad as the Nuclear Waste Dump they were going to make around Dryden.

Yeah, while the NAFTA superhighway is a urban legend it is masking the real story of the Trans-Texas Corridor (see http://www.thenation.com/doc/20070827/hayes). They even want to have a spanish company build it (wanna bet they use union?) and then collect the toll. So not only will it be an environmental disaster, it will be the largest private road in the country.

Corridor Watch is trying to stop it: http://www.corridorwatch.org/ttc/index.htm

Best,

In case you haven't noticed all the "la entrada al pacifico" signs, they have been up for years. In Spanish too, no English allowed.
