    Letter to the editor: Using farm land for high-speed rail

    April 3,2018- A special thank you to the Telegram for printing the March 6 comprehensive article regarding the proposed high speed train for the Interstate 45 corridor.A few years ago Gov. Perry was promoting the Trans Texas Corridor for Interstate 35. Remember what affects one part of Texas affects all of Texas. There were several items not addressed in the article. It is common knowledge that Amtrak has been subsidized by public funds for a number of years, so how can the c

    Dallas-to-Houston high-speed rail plan will make Texas' I-35 corridor a loser, competitor says

    One of the world's largest train operators says that its proposal of a passenger rail network that includes the Interstate 35 corridor would be a better fit for Texas than the $15 billion Dallas-to-Houston bullet train that's on the table. "Look at the state as a whole. Instead of creating a link, create a network," said SNCF America president Alain Leray, who is visiting Dallas, Austin and Waco this week on the heels of filing his company's eight-pages of commentary on the F

    Op-Ed: Texans should be wary of bullet train proposal

    This opinion piece was written by Alain Leray, president and CEO of SNCF America Inc., which is France's national state-owned railway company. Read HBJ's latest coverage of the bullet train here. Mar 22, 2018 By Alain Leray – Guest Contributor As the proposal to build a high-speed rail line between Dallas and Houston makes its way through a federal regulatory approval process, Texans are asking important questions about its viability and impacts. Although intriguing, Texas

    SNCF America, Inc. States Proposed Texas Central Rail Project Would Doom Texas' Passenger Rail F

    Summary of Comments Submitted to Federal Railroad Administration by Global High-Speed Rail Operator AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SNCF America, Inc. has submitted comments in response to the Federal Railway Administration (FRA) Draft Environmental Impact Statement (Draft EIS) for the Dallas to Houston High-Speed Rail Project proposed by Texas Central Rail (TCR).

    Work begins on $666M redo of I-35E and Highway 67, with a deck park in the plans

    Ground was broken Wednesday on the so-called "Southern Gateway" project, a massive $666 million reconstruction of a large section of Interstate 35E and State Highway 67 near downtown through Oak Cliff. At a harmonious ceremony -- which stood in stark contrast with the acrimonious debate over the future of I-635 East -- state, regional and local officials said they have plenty to like about the highway. For state officials, the project is about alleviating congestion. For City

    In Texas, Bad Transportation Policy Is Killing Us

    This morning we saw some fresh evidence that, if you are a pedestrian, this city is passively trying to make you inconvenienced, if not actively trying to kill you. Even without any sidewalk-blocking construction, walking in Dallas can be dangerous, something backed up by the data and plenty of personal anecdotes: Spend a week hoofing it from downtown to the Cedars during afternoon rush hour, and you’ll begin treating the desperate sprint across eastbound Griffin Street on Ak

    Alternative Fuel Vehicle Fees, Higher Gas Tax May Fund US Infrastructure

    A higher gas tax and new fees for alternative-fuel vehicles are among the ways America can pay for a major overhaul of its outdated infrastructure — and create jobs in the process, says a bipartisan group that includes U.S. Rep. Elizabeth Esty. “This will put people to work, and everybody knows we need to do it,” said Esty, a three-term Democrat who co-chairs the U.S. House Problems Solvers Caucus Infrastructure Working Group. “We think there is narrow window of a couple mont

    FRA slates hearings on environmental report for Texas bullet train

    The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) on Jan. 29 will begin a series of 10 public hearings on its draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) for the proposed bullet train project in Texas. The first public hearing will be held in Dallas County. Others will be held in locations along the proposed route, which would extend from North Texas to Houston. The FRA is accepting comments on the DEIS until Feb. 20. The report analyzed six end-to-end build alternatives as well
