Houston, we have schematics
In a post on Monday, I noted that TxDOT had not put schematics for 290 online:
TxDOT has not posted its schematics of the project on the internet. To see them, you need to go to a public meeting (there are no further ones scheduled right now), visit the project field office between 8:00 and 5:00 on workdays, or submit a request for a specific section with a explanation of why you want to see it. There is no good reason why TxDOT cannot post these. METRO, for example, posted its preliminary schematics for the University Line. We, the taxpayers, paid for the preparation of this information. We are being asked to comment on it. Should we not have the right to study it at our leisure?
I made the same comment in a public hearing a week earlier.
Yesterday, from the 290 web site:
WE’RE LISTENING: The DEIS schematic drawings are now online!
Based on your valued input at the recent US 290 DEIS public hearings,
we worked to place the DEIS schematic drawings online to better meet
your needs! Click here to view these preliminary schematics.

Remember, the public comment deadline is 5 pm on August 8.
