I-35 Opinions

RECEIVED Tue., Sept. 14, 2021

Dear Editor,
    Here is my opinion as to what to do with I-35:
    1) Re-route I-35 to go around the city of Austin, leaving a wide margin for future expansion, and build the outer stations of public transportation (with garages to house cars) at regular intervals of the circular highway around the city (compare, e.g. Paris, France)
    2) Use the existing I-35 to construct subway/public transportation North-South; go undergound in the Downtown area.
    3) Open up the Downtown I-35 areas so that the split between East and West Austin is no longer.
Respectfully submitted,
Eric van Ginkel
