Meanwhile Dallas metro has really impressive mass transit. Houston is actually more liberla and Democrat then dallas, do I don't understand why our politicians keep doubling down on freeways and buses when it is proven to just make things worse. Its sad. Houston has so much potential, the transit you do have is decent. If only it was expanded by a factor of 10 lol.
It’s scary how there is no talk of commuter and metro rail. The global standard is rail connecting airports to high density commercial districts. If they can build a plethora of high ways, they could build rail infrastructure. This is why DFW will sadly leave them in the dust. The leadership has no vision.
@@davidfoley726 well at least a few people are wanting more rail, like me for instance. Is there a place I can donate or something to pitch in to expand metrorail?
For Houston to be the 4th largest city in America and soon the 3rd surpassing Chicago but it’s such an irrelevant city and terrible transportation from traffic to public
I keep commenting to make the public aware of how many people and businesses will be relocated and how is that possible if there’s a pending discrimination lawsuit.
Is I 45 being moved on the other side of downtown so the Texans can get a new stadium where St. Joseph Hospital currently sits? That’s been the rumor, true?
What about rail????? Both metro and commuter rail is desperately needed or Houston will fall off the global map. Where are the visionaries in that city??
@@jayasmrmore3687 heavy/commuter rail to connect suburbs and exburbs like Katy, Conroe (possibly Huntsville)Galveston, prairie view and Rosenberg via Sugarland and Missouri city. Like you said , share existing tracks , that is exactly what Chicago did with The Metra commuter rail. How could they build light rail east of the city, non crossing west of Main, but the population density is all west with no light rail infrastructure? At the least , both airports and perhaps the Katy airport being a third regional airport, should be connected to the CBD, Medical Center and uptown. The true litmus test of a ‘real city ‘is am i able to get off of a train or plane and travel every where I need to go without a car?
@@davidfoley726 I don’t mind you needing a car sometimes it just shouldn’t be the only option for almost everywhere. Also why would you need to transfer airports?
@@jayasmrmore3687 i wasn’t implying a need to transfer airports. I was commenting on how evolved cities with adequate infrastructure and multiple airports can fly in to any of those airports and travel into the city centers via rail. Madrid, London, Chicago, Toronto, Berlin, Washington , DC etc etc
@@jayasmrmore3687 i don’t mind the occasional use of a car , especially at nite, but give the option of rail. It’s better for the environment and It encourages better public heath stats.
They should’ve use all of this money to build high speed & Intercity Rail with public transportation expansion in Houston, Dallas & Fort Worth & Commuter rail
At this point every major road in Houston is gonna have major updates and expansions. This just says how much the Texas highways are really great. However we depend to much on it and Texas at this point has the best highways in the world lol. It keeps growing including where I currently live which is Houston. Our suburbs and city are packed more people are moving here! It will never end either. I'm just hoping Texas can go back to full republican.
And probably not a penny for public transportation
Houston is too car centric I honestly wonder if I can donate to getting more metrorail in place. No one wants the freeway expanded.
I'm going to loose my home with the expansion of i45 and these people don't care about me and my neighbors
Open borders the past 10 years equals an additional 3 million people in TX, deal with it.
Honestly Houston needs to stop being so car centric. No we don’t need an expanded freeway. We want Metro rail.
@@jayasmrmore3687I agree!
Houston needs a 50 lane wide highway.
which will come to a stand still if the road bends even slightly or if there is a interchange or a merge.
“Just one more lane, bro!”
More emphasis needed on public transit
Exactly especially railway like Metrorail (bus too but especially railway)
Houston is the 4th largest City in the U.S. and it basically has no public transportation or infrastructure. Lmao
Nah, we'll just pave the entire area and start painting lanes over the entirety 😆

I thought the I 45 was on hold pending a lawsuit ?

Exactly. I even want our light rail to connect to heavy rail and they can just be parallel to freight tracks.

More lanes more traffic more tax dollars for local residents when it's all done which will more than likely raise the real estate market.
1:31 Are going to ignore how the car ran the red light?

Just one more lane guys. That'll solve it!
/S
What about I-10 east?? The road sucks and is jammed up everyday
How about we stop being so car centric
DG construction is the only company receiving all of these jobs. Go figure.
I want to be able to take 99 to 288 lol
Heres an idea
Transit Train shuttle
:(

Too many minorities in harris county for that lol. its going to get more liberal as time passes by
@@gerardojasso9259 please don't say that lol. I really hope that won't be the case. Maybe the public can save it. As in the houstonians
Hardly any public transportation or walkability... C'mon Houston. Also no mention of fixing the existing dilapidated roads.
