Burgess Comments on Recommendation of NTTA Bid Offer
WASHINGTON, DC,
June 19, 2007
Congressman Michael C. Burgess, M.D. (TX-26) released the following statement on the Regional Transportation Council recommendation: “As the U.S. Representative for Denton County, the State Highway 121 toll road project greatly affects my district and my constituents. I am a frequent traveler of SH 121 and other roads in the area, and I firmly believe that in order to decrease congestion and pollution, we must continue to seek innovative methods to fund desperately needed roads in the area. “Regardless of the company that ultimately wins the bid, I believe that it is only fair to use to the funds on near neighbor/near time projects. The Regional Transportation Council made their recommendation to accept the bid offered by the North Texas Tollway Authority, and I look forward to hearing the Texas Transportation Commission’s final decision on June 28.” |
