What If You Replaced Interstate 35 In Texas With High Speed Rail? | Taking Back the Streets SA 2 DFW

The radical idea of replacing freeways with high speed intercity passenger rail investigated more closely. We're going to rip up Interstate 35 northbound lanes between San Antonio and both Fort Worth and Dallas. Impact of road vehicle traffic? Who cares?! This is a tongue-in-cheek presentation about what seems like a highly impractical and improbable scenario, but we'll keep that between you and me and let the people that don't bother reading descriptions figure it out. Is it pie in the sky? Is it actually not a bad idea? Is it somewhere in between? You decide!
