A study: The TxDOT $25M Boardwalk: Sharing my library of public information requests: The TxDOT $25M Hyatt PUD Boardwalk

I would like to wrap up my extensive research into the TxDOT TTC $25M Boardwalk by sharing my summary findings with the public, and by providing a library of primary-source documents (mostly emails, meeting presentations) so that you — the reader — can read the words for yourself and perhaps arrive at new narratives or conclusions.

The “Summary findings” report that you are reading is also available as a PDF document at this link:
