If you are in the Dallas Ft. Worth area you need to pay attention to this one!
David Harris has it up on his website:

The Trans Texas Corridor project will by pass most large cities by several miles. Not up here in DFW! The mayors have proposed changing the preferred route to move some of the traffic right through the metroplex. The proposed plan would route the corridor directly to the center of the metroplex, using the HWY 360 corridor, dump trucking onto I-20 east and west, create a new auto route from I-20 north through Grand Prairie and Irving and around N Dallas and back to I-35.
The original plan was to have a 2-10 mile wide easement with rail, heavy truck and auto thoroughfares running parallel to the east of Dallas. The new plan splits the traffic up and routes it all over the place.
