U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Texas could benefit from robust passenger rail as more people flock to the state.
.” Is that an outmoded way of thinking or are they right about that?
It’s always good for states and local communities to be listening to each other. And I want to encourage that to happen more in everything. And I certainly think that's been an important part of what there’s been a call for in the case of Houston and I-45, for example, just for TxDOT and communities to be engaging in a way that can lead to a positive place and, hopefully, even consensus. Now, there’s also of coursegoing on there. I can’t speak to that while it’s underway.
Are calls for different options in how we move around going to have to come from cities rather than the state? There’s a project in San Antonio where they were going to make their main street more friendly to cyclists and pedestrians while reducing the number of car lanes. TxDOT. What conversations do you have with TxDOT to make them more amenable to projects like that?
Do you see high-speed rail happening in Texas? Major rail projects have a hard time getting off the ground here. For example, the state is arguing in court that a proposed rail project between Dallas and Houston can’t use eminent domain to build its system. How do you feel about the progression here?
