Someone put together this nice spreadsheet containing all the members of the Regional Transportation Council at NCTCOG. Contact any and all of them regarding our view of this toll road. We need to be heard loud and clear.
Thanks for the data, Matthew.

Please go to this link to read the installments of KETR’s News Director Mark Haslett’s reporting on the proposed toll road.
He is focused on covering both sides of the issue.
Please tune in for a radio version of this at 7:30 and 8:30am.

This is for letting every home owner(that may not believe the toll road will impact them at all) that will be cut off from their FD/EMS because of the toll road. The proposed toll road will cut 9 current Hunt county roads and will cause longer response times and increases in their homeowners policy.
Exact examples are impossible, each person must contact their agent and their address will show the increase based on the FD response route (which is still up in the air).
Protection class is determined by the fire department’s ability to reach property in a timely manner. 
 
Here’s a little info:  http://www.iso.com/faq/ISO-FAQ/The-Public-Protection-Classification-PPC-Program.html
 
I would ask each everyone to inform their neighbors and ask them to call their agent about these increases and their local Fire department to see if they have any plans to mitigate the risk for the area in question. The fire chief should be willing to speak with you about it.

We have officially requested a copy of the lease that was approved 6-5 by NETEX with Publicwerks/TTC. If/when we receive a copy we will post it. This is the response we received by email from NETEX’s law firm.
This e-mail is in response to your request set forth below.  NETEX has no objection to the release of the lease agreement you have requested.  NETEX is, however, required to notify the lessee under the lease of your request.  The lessee has claimed the lease agreement contains certain “Information Involving Privacy or Proprietary Interests” of the lessee, within the meaning of the Texas Public Information Act.  Attached to this e-mail is a copy of the notice that was sent to the lessee regarding your request.  A hard copy has been sent to you as well.  You will note that a copy has also been sent to the Attorney General.  A copy of the lease agreement has also been provided the Attorney General.  The lessee may provide to the Attorney General reasons why it believes all or portions of the lease agreement is or are proprietary.   The Public Information Act requires that the lessee copy you on any such correspondence.  NETEX will not be submitting any additional information to the Attorney General, as it has no objection to providing you a copy of the lease, and will do so promptly upon receipt of approval from the Attorney General.
 
In the meantime, please feel free to contact the undersigned with any questions or concerns that you might have.
