      I just think it’s important for people to be able to listen to his actual words, in context. Hence I provided the link.

      What did he say during his interview that I got wrong? And more importantly, what did he say in his interview that justifies sending a completely approved and funded project back to the drawing board, possibly jeopardizing federal funding and causes unnecessary delays. The Shep corridor will be three lanes from Memorial to I-10 and from 15th to 610. How is carving a 1.3 mile segment for four lanes out of 3.5 miles going to help traffic? And giving up on the pedestrian improvements right smack in the middle of the corridor basically wastes all the money spent improving the bookends as you lose connectivity. This is just a flex by the mayor to show the libs who is who. This right out of the play book of the likes of Rep. Culberson and Gov. Abbott who just can't stand it when a local government wants to do something other than build more lanes.

      I do agree with what you said, and I understand some of the points he makes. But I still don't think it justifies his actions in canceling and undoing projects in the work.
