Below is a contact address for sending in your comments regarding the new toll way and enrolling in an email list for continuing information. Of course, you can drop out at any time. If you are going to become involved, I would suggest that you send in a comment saying that you support the Northeast Gateway toll road (new name) if it provides Rowlett access with frontage roads and access ramps. However, if no access is to be built, you would strongly oppose the toll road. Your reason is because the new toll road would severely damage Rowlett's future planning if access is denied to Northeast Gateway. You don't mind sharing the wealth, but you have no intention of giving away tax base without some ability to recover.

. It has nothing to do with commuter traffic. Even if Greenville’s population doubled in the next 20 years to 50K (which now I know why it will), a tollroad cannot by sustained and profitable by a city of 50K. It has to do with huge tracts of land that The Walton Group Inc from Canada has purchased on the south side of Greenville and there are plans to develop thousands of houses there. This toll road is about nothing but the players involved devising a way to get the building materials there and make a profit off of that too. If you go back and listen to the meeting they had with the Rowlett City Council they admit they see it as mainly being truck traffic. Now I know why, and it is just another part of the scheme of them lining their pockets at our expense. Think about all of the noise and particulate pollution that will be for the city of Rowlett. There is so much political cronyism and back scratching going on with this between members of the NCTCOG, Public Werks Inc (TTA) and the Walton Group, that even I can see it.
