    You mean that one small bypass? Also, a little late to the party don't you think?

    Can we all agree that they should just shut this fb page down? I mean, it's not that I'm surprised by Facebook...I just...I...it's frustrating to see so much ignorance congregated in one place. Maybe that's for the best? https://www.facebook.com/texascentral

    "$850 million raised in 4 months" http://blog.chron.com/primeproperty/2015/04/college-station-mixed-use-project-moves-forward-with-new-partnership/ That's impressive for cstat

    Before we start an argument, I'm not angry at you specifically. All I've seen about this project the past 8 months have been the same kind of repeat argument against it that has already been discussed here at length. That's not your fault, and frankly, I'm a little irritated at TCR for not doing anything worthwhile to combat this overwhelming wave of negativity. We've heard rumors of social media presence and community interactions. I'm curious how far along TCR is in this aspect. I don't doubt their capability, I'm simply curious why they've been silent for so long. This project will literally be the first of it's kind in America and that should be huge for us! This is a project that will form a more solid connectivity between cities and peoples than ever before. The more stations we see appear in the future, the more those towns will grow. I'm excited for this project but damn, there's just some issues with its image that I feel could hurt TCR in the long run.

    I'm so tired of explaining this. Which is easier? Using ED to take land which results in law suits and massive amounts of extra money spent on legal fees, OR Spending an extra $100k to make someone happier, and avoid courtroom costs altogether? This is a private company with private money so of corse they can hand out more money to land owners than what their property is worth. There's your logic...

    As long as the infrastructure is payed by private hands. However, TCR should be weary with not disclosing any information in this open-realm Internet age

    Well that's the end of a thread.

    That honestly sounds like a great plan but would never work. The counties in between Houston and Dallas would lose their minds over tax payer money going towards this, and would most certainly continue to raise an even bigger annoyance than they are now. This initial phase needs to be a "prove-it" phase; a way to show the naysayers that TCR can do this the right way. If the line is popular, who's to say the rest of the state won't get jealous and demand their local governments to allocate federal funding.

    I didn't

    Because it would be a lot more costly to provide the adequate pumps in case of flooding. I also think it has to do with the soil conditions.

    Yeah but two years for a garage?
  15. BigFootsSocks
    Soooo I was right? Lol thnx guys

    I'm still waiting to see what's on that side of this tower...

    Steel is stronger than concrete, right Purdue?
  18. BigFootsSocks
    I didn't realize there would be a garage where the steel is at.

    Drove up there a few hours ago. I'm curious why the 45 frontage lanes weren't paved and just overlayed with asphalt.

    I think the name is all lawyer speak. Anyway, glad they're doing a cypress meeting. No ones really mentioned it but they really need to consider the impact this line is going to have on the 290 area as well as around the stations. Think about it, this won't just be suburbia anymore. Now we've got 21st century access to another city right next door to a booming population. If TCR were smart (which they are), and the Howard Hughes company were smart and forward thinking, they should place a station somewhere in Bridgelands. It may not be as big as the Woodlands, but it's pretty damn close. This is the best case of future proofing this city could do in years.
