I-35 panel recommends more Texas rail projects

AUSTIN, TX The report, released Thursday to the Texas Transportation Commission, says many of the recommendations would involve expanding I-35 or nearby existing highways.

The so-called My 35 Plan recommends more managed lanes, plus real-time traffic information systems that alert drivers to delays and provide alternate routes.

The citizen-led Interstate 35 Corridor Advisory Committee recommends redesignating and renaming parts of I-35 in Central Texas to divert traffic away from metropolitan areas.

The report, which says legislative action may be needed, says many of the recommended projects "were needed yesterday."
