It was hilarious how much wailing there was at the thought of extending Woodlands Parkway to Tomball. Apparently, that would allow the low life scum that populates Tomball to get to teh Woodlands without as much effort.

The entire affair reeks of pettiness from both sides and does nothing to help the region. The worst manifestation of toxic politics mixed with a little incompetence on the side.
How quick did they get that SW Freeway rebuild that started when Lanier was mayor? 4 or 5 years for the whole thing from Shepherd to the Loop? And with Alicia hitting during the middle?

Well the plan since the Woodlands was designed in the 70s was to connect to 1488 near Magnolia, not go the other direction. Its not like I-45 is surprising anyone.

Comparing a 3-mile freeway rebuild to a 22-mile rebuild involving multiple intersecting freeways doesn't seem very useful.
