TxDOT THUGS LIE AND STEAL
We've all heard the repeated claim that when TxDOT converts existing roads into tollways we’ll have as many free lanes as exist today per state law? Right? Well, TxDOT LIES - ALL THE TIME.
TxDOT is no longer focused on transportation as much as revenue generation, and they need to steal our roads, our time and tax dollars to create money. This letter was published as Statesman Letter to Editor on the 23rd:
We miss our lane
Before the MoPac Boulevard (Loop 1) toll road extension opened, residents of Wells Branch and the surrounding North Austin subdivisions had two free lanes that directly fed into southbound MoPac. Now these residents have the choice to pay 50 cents for about a half-mile on the toll road or enter the very congested one-lane free ramp onto MoPac.
The Texas Department of Transportation has robbed these residents of one of their access lanes to southbound MoPac — a lane that was paid for with our tax dollars.

They just did the same thing to me.. Cnty road 276 north of Leander, the only way into my subdivision, was blocked by the new configuration they have for 183A. I can no longer turn into my subdivision without having to make a highly unnescessary detour. They are trying to make it impossible for me to continue using 183. You would just have to see this to believe it!
