Letter from Senator Hutchison
Eye on the Road has obtained a copy of Senator Hutchison’s letter to the Federal Highway Administration and TxDOT asking for a 45-day extension to the comment deadline.
TxDOT announced Monday that the deadline would be extended 30 days.
Hutchison said an extended deadline is necessary because of the enormous scope of the TTC project. In addition, she cited a recent analysis by the Texas Farm Bureau that she said was significant enough to warrant the extending the deadline.
Hutchison wrote:
(The) TTC-69 project is a tremendous undertaking and additional time to submit comments would not delay this project. In this spirit, I ask that you give the public 45 additional days, through May 5 2008 to comment on the Tier One DEIS.
The new deadline for comments on the TTC will be April 18.
