A tunnel is a really good idea, and the reason behind TxDOT wanting to widen Central is to relieve Collin County originated traffic. Maybe the focus, as far as changing minds go, needs to incorporate not just the Richardson city council, but also Dallas County. mocktronichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736808016562567132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498525082522582900.post-66931481353569931602013-03-14T07:06:46.292-05:002013-03-14T07:06:46.292-05:00Hmm...

Let's not just let TxDOT widen Central through Richardson for the benefit of people who want to live in McKinney and work in Dallas. Let's force TxDOT to do some creating thinking here so Richardson benefits, too.Mark Stegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02376182294736839659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498525082522582900.post-44315076451867235592013-03-14T07:01:38.190-05:002013-03-14T07:01:38.190-05:00By gum, we need a tunnel!

Accommodate all of that traffic, clear up the surface area for Mark's dream walking mall, eliminate the east/west divide . . . oh, and while we're at it, add more DART in that very same tunnel.<br /><br />The city talked about a couple of tunnels earlier - one at Spring Valley across 75 (done) and one at Campbell (un-done). Instead of these little 'pretend' tunnels, just put in a a real tunnel. Make Boston's 'Big Dig' look like a practice run.<br /><br />We can plant wild flowers where 75 used to be.glbeachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10177895211614530947noreply@blogger.com
