    Cutting through minority 'hoods. That is racist.
    But avoiding certain 'hoods would be too

    Cutting through well-to-do 'hoods would be seen as simply giving more money to rich people.

    You can't win when they frame the argument with words they change the meaning of to suit them at the time.

    The construction north of downtown was the easy part. No, it's not the 'hood' (isn't any there anyway) but the businesses on 45 that will suffer - maybe now is not the best time, let them recover? Additionally, still working on the fast rail DFW/houston - not that it will reduce the traffic jam on 45. Lots of $ people in charge of the decision - plus the infrastructure bill opposition.

    Fuckem. Just stop and divert the funds to a project not in a socialist utopia.
    Except Houston doesn't want or need this project.

    What they are trying to do is force a huge amount of construction to remove the current elevated 45 through down town, then route it all through the existing 59 corridor, and add extra lanes underground. It would completely screw traffic through Houston (far more than it already is, which is saying something) for a decade, and the end result will be that all north-south traffic goes through a single bottleneck that will be incredibly flood-prone. You think we had issues with freeways flooding during emergencies and disasters before?

    Since we have never seen Hwy 45 NOT under construction folks around here refer to it as the Highway 401k.
    In 1968 National Geographic featured the construction on their cover. The stpry was about how great it was going to be, because it had TV cameras the size of a porta-potty on its overpasses. A brave new world? Maybe its time to stop.
