Fighting the I-45 expansion proposal

Charles Kuffner notes a Chronicle article about an upcoming TxDOT meeting regarding the I-45 expansion proposal:

The I-45 Coalition will play host to a public meeting Tuesday to address concerns regarding the Texas Department of Transportation's proposed "managed lanes" project for Interstate 45.

The meeting, at 7:30 p.m. at Zion Lutheran Church, 3606 Beauchamp in Woodland Heights, will feature a presentation by TxDOT engineer Mike Tello, followed by a question-and-answer session.

Kuffner also says:

I will try to be there. Maybe I can finally ask my question about why we aren't trying to use the already-existing excess capacity of the Hardy Toll Road instead of expanding I-45.

The I-45 Coalition has a domain name registered, i-45coalition.org, but there's nothing there yet. I'll mention it again when it's up and running. And I want to give props to State Rep. Jessica Farrar and City Council member Adrian Garcia for all the work they've done so far with the neighborhood groups on this one.

His Hardy Toll Road question is excellent and I hope he gets to ask it.
