What people are saying

Every public comment filed on TxDOT's Round 3 comment map, 931 of them, searchable and grouped by the route each one sits in.

931 comments, checked against TxDOT 2026-10-22 10:20. This page refreshes every ten minutes. TxDOT's own map numbers each row by record id, and the newest reads 953 — 22 ids in that range were deleted or never used, so a higher number there does not mean this page is behind.

This is the comment map, not the whole record. TxDOT accepts comments five ways — the map, email, post, voicemail and text, and forms handed in at the open houses — and only the map is public. On the closing day TxDOT put the Round 3 total at more than 1,300 — over 1,000 before the deadline was extended and over 300 after. This page had 931. The gap is the four channels nobody can see, so read 931 as the public portion and not as the size of the record.

Whose comments these are

These come from I_14_Public_Comments, the service behind TxDOT's own comment map, so they are already public record. 594 of the 931 were filed from a point inside one of the conceptual corridors; the rest are tagged with the nearest route and how far away it is.

931 comments have been filed. 907 of them carry text and are listed below — the other 24 were submitted as a map pin with no words, where the location is the whole message. They count toward the total and cannot be listed.

Only the comment text is here. Commenter names, street addresses, phone numbers and email addresses are never requested, and the text is additionally scrubbed for phone and email patterns typed into the prose. The upstream service does return all of those fields to anyone who asks — this site does not ask. See About.

  I live in King Oaks. Not directly underneath the eastern option of the loop, but close enough. This overlaps roughly 60 beautiful homes in our neighborhood. The proposed road measures about 1 mile on top of King Oaks. Giving each home a $700k average market price, that makes this single mile of road sit on top of roughly 42 million in real estate and, of course, completely destroys the tranquility for the other half of the neighborhood.

  This route is non-sensical and essentially seeks to destroy the entirety of the BCS country area for a false sense of improvement. This is just a copy paste of the poor "improvements" that became nightmares for the public in Houston and Dallas. Not only would this destroy the livelihoods of thousands of land owners, it always destroys the habits of thousands of rare wild animals, pasture stock, and insect pollinators. It also would run through wetlands and the 100yr flood plain in some places, which is nonsensical as well. BCS doesn't need a loop that destroys everything in its path just to try and be like Houston or some other big city. More effort needs to be put into a corridor that actually makes sense. The is a low effort carbon copy route.

  The proposed road alignment would have a significant and lasting impact on the existing City of Kurten by effectively dividing the community in half lengthwise. Placing a major roadway through the center of the current city would create a physical barrier between neighborhoods, businesses, and other community resources that are currently connected. This could disrupt established traffic patterns, reduce accessibility between the two sides of the city, and negatively affect the character and cohesion of the existing community. Rather than placing the road through the heart of the current city, alternative alignments further east or closer to Bryan should be carefully considered that provide the necessary transportation connection while minimizing the disruption to established neighborhoods

  The I-14 corridor seems to follow the Navasota River, which is almost the only remaining native area for wildlife in Eastern Brazos Valley. Additionally the logistics of building in and thru the floodplain would be extremely difficult and expensive. Moving the I-14 corridor slightly east (east of the SpaceX Gibbons Creek facility, and more towards Shiro connects the Anderson Shiro Community and the 30 corridor, around and up to 21 west of Madisonville. Utilizing Rock Prairie Road and Peach Creek Road involves several neighborhoods (Lick Crossing and Peach Creek Crossing).

The City of College Station received a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Section 6 Recovery Grant to purchase property along Alum Creek in Brazos County where the Navasota ladies’ tresses were known to occur.

It represents years of hard work, stability, memories, and everything I have invested in building a life for my family.

  We strongly oppose Route #4 of the East Conceptual Alternatives for the I-14 Central Texas Corridor. Route #4 would require the acquisition of our home and property in Shiro, resulting in the loss of our residence, displacement from our community, and significant harm to our livelihood and quality of life. Route #5 is the preferred alternative because it is the shortest route and utilizes a substantial portion of existing US 190, an already established highway corridor.

We respectfully urge decision-makers to eliminate Route #4 from consideration and select Route #5 as the preferred alternative.

WIth all the coming development and the resulting flood control issues that will inevitably arise, it makes little sense to purposefully impede river floodlands.

  We built our home in 2024 in an established acreage neighborhood (King Oaks). This proposal will destroy a large portion of the homes and lots right in the center of our neighborhood. We are about 1 mile from the proposed roadway, so are likely to have severely decreased property value and quality of life in our home. We specifically chose this area because of the natural beauty, abundant wildlife and quiet lifestyle. I understand that development is sometimes necessary, but there is ample undeveloped land in our area. Please find another route that does not completely destroy our neighborhood

  Thank you for the opportunity to provide public comment regarding the proposed TxDOT project and its potential impact on Lake Louise. Our family has owned Lake Louise for approximately three decades. We did not simply acquire and maintain an existing lake. We designed, engineered, and built Lake Louise specifically for three-event competitive waterskiing. From its inception, the property was intentionally created to meet the highly specialized requirements of competitive waterskiing. Facilities of this nature are exceptionally rare. There are only a limited number of purpose-built competitive waterski lakes in the United States, and a facility with the design, engineering, history, and capabilities of Lake Louise cannot simply be replaced by another body of water.

  I am concerned that the proposed Loop I-214 would be constructed within the Navasota River floodplain, where it could disrupt natural drainage, increase flood risks, create environmental impacts, and result in higher construction and maintenance costs. I am also concerned about the effects of placing a major highway close to existing homes and rural properties, including increased noise, light pollution, traffic, and loss of the area's rural character. I encourage TxDOT to consider alternative alignments that avoid floodplain areas and reduce impacts on nearby residents and landowners.

  Traffic study done for inner loop showed there is zero need for a loop either the inner or this 214 loop. The only reason it is being planned is because certain local politicians and builders want to line their pockets and develop/urbanize the rural county. The citizens of both cities do not want that to happen, and would not use this roadway. It would also serve no purpose for the I-14 project because where the loop goes there are no businesses.

This project could result in the loss of agricultural production and tax base, impacts to wildlife and potentially endangered species, disruption of rural properties, and a significant change to the quality of life of those who intentionally chose to live in this quiet, rural area. I personally moved here to live away from major roads and highways, so it is extremely frustrating to once again face a similar proposal after the East Loop was removed from consideration. This appears to be another attempt at

  This proposed loop seems to be too close to really benefit the BCS area as it does not really route the traffic far enough outside of the city. It also is crossing land that has been in my family since 1916 and is productively used for cattle ranching and as a food source for this nation. The Peach Creek area also has a historical cemetery and the community center was built using the wood and tin from the two room school house on property deeded to Brazos County by my grandfather in 1918. Preserving history and open space property is important for the future of this nation. Consideration should be given to not only alternative routes, but better ways to preserve the land. We already have too much concrete which causes flooding in places that never before flooded and the aquafers cannot

  There are multiple properties in this area that are appraised at more than a million dollars. With Terrafab supposedly coming to Grimes County, it seems to make much more sense and involve considerably less expense to have the loop in this area located on the Grimes County side of the Navasota River. In addition to the expense of acquiring the Brazos County properties, much of this area is also located in the Navasota River flood plain. If there is to be a loop at all, it makes much more sense to locate this stretch near the Gibbons Creek/Terrafab area.

CR 229 is a rural county road surrounded by homes, farms, ranches, private property, and families who chose to live in this area because of its rural character. Placing a major interstate corridor through this community would permanently change the area and create significant impacts for the people who live and work here.

  For rural Brazos County landowners, the negative impact on property value is immediate and unavoidable. Once a quiet agricultural tract becomes adjacent to interstate traffic, noise, lights, and right‑of‑way restrictions, the land’s market identity changes. What was once premium rural acreage becomes compromised frontage, and the resale market reflects that reality. Buyers looking for privacy, livestock operations, or recreational use simply won’t pay the same price for land overshadowed by an interstate corridor. The replacement‑cost problem is even worse. You can’t replace rural Brazos County land at anything close to what the state pays for right‑of‑way acquisition.

I also think you should go far enough away that it does not run totally adjacent to our neighborhood or any neighborhood for that matter. Our homes are an investment and part of a persons retirement portfolio for later in life when you may need the funds for later in life living expenses. We do not need this investment to decrease property value when there are other means. There is plenty of Navasota river median and would not af

  my home is in the King Oaks Subdivision on the eastern part of the loop. I am one of over 300 homes in the potentially affected area. These are homes that range from roughly 500K to near 1 million in value. I would think this would be an unnecessary acquisition expense to the govt. I am 81 years old and hoped to be in this house till the end. The ability to sell and move is now in question due to uncertainty of the project.

  Main-line I-14 already sweeps north of Bryan–College Station to I-45, handling east-west freight and making a full eastern loop redundant. Squeezing a new freeway through this eastern corridor forces construction between established neighborhoods and the volatile Navasota River floodplain. This footprint risks worsening regional flooding, disrupting wetlands, and inflating bridging costs—all to run high-speed traffic through residential communities. TxDOT should abandon this destructive footprint and instead optimize existing infrastructure by upgrading State Highway 6 and current commercial corridors.

  On behalf of myself and my husband, I am writing to fervently oppose the I-214 loop proposed option that passes through King Oaks. We recently built our forever home here purposely to get away from congestion and noise. Many of the residents of King Oaks have done this as well. The I-214 loop proposed option through King Oaks would not only disrupt the lives and homes of many residents, but also of several wildlife species. In addition, King Oaks residents currently contribute a considerable sum to Grimes County taxes overall. The I-214 loop proposed option would completely force many residents out of their current homes. We strongly oppose development of this project through King Oaks.

  My wife and I are both in our 70s and looked long and hard for the perfect retirement community and home. We found it in King Oaks and have no desire to be uprooted from our home for a proposed I14 corridor. Originally, the route was to come down IH-45 to US 190/TX 21 at Madisonville and follow 190/21 to Bryan and on to Hearne and beyond. We do not appreciate the potential threat of having to uproot at this late stage of life and have to look for another "forever home". Do not use this route or anything that comes close to wiping out a beautiful, peaceful neighborhood. No imminent domain project is worth destroying our neighborhood and forcing us to find another home...especially with prices much higher than when we originally purchased our home.

  We object to any I-214 routes that run adjacent to the Navasota River, especially Central Conceptual Alternative Routes indicated as #3, 4, 5, and 7. (We also object to Routes #1, 2, and 6.) As comments 109 and 277 have mentioned, building a highway through miles of Navasota River floodplain, or through the neighborhoods on the ridges immediately adjacent to the floodplain, would be a costly, environmentally disruptive mistake. Furthermore, close proximity along the Navasota River, as seen in all the present Central Conceptual Alternative Routes, would allow for new economic development on only one side of the highway.

An interstate along the Navasota River would place homes, farms, and established communities at risk of acquisition, displacement, loss of access, reduced property values, and years of uncertainty. This burden should not be concentrated on these property owners when less damaging alternatives may exist. 2. Permanent loss of rural character.

  This is a formal public comment regarding the proposed Interstate 14. My property is located at 18099 CR 164, Iola, Texas, 77861. I notice that our land falls within the proposed Central Option/Iola-Bedias alignment path. There are two generational homes located on this property with the plan of elder care. This route is of concern for dividing a family property and creating safety/care concerns. Additionally, this route could disrupt very important localized ranching and agriculture infrastructure. As TXDot evaluates the proposed corridors I strongly urge the agency to advance the Southern Option (the State HWY 30 corridor) which directly relates to the Terafab location. Please keep me informed of all future project milestones, localized environmental impact statements, and property -owne

  This land has been in my family since the 1930s and I have been thinking about retiring out there for a while now. Having a road go through a majority of the property really puts a damper on my plans. I was told at a previous meeting that the reason TXDOT is going West of the Brazos is due to there being a lot of development (housing) put in on the East side (Western Brazos County). My family has been developing the land by farming and ranching for generations - much longer than College Station has been developing real estate on the Eastern side of the Brazos River. Loop 214 appears to be something that Brazos County is needing completed and it is negatively affecting Burleson County. My last concern is how does TXDOT plan on building this massive Interstate Loop on a flood plain? Does TXD

  We reside at 9898 Mountbatten Trail in the King Oaks subdivision (acreage community). We are located on the Central Conceptual Alternative Route 6 (C2 - 0.22 mi INSIDE). We built our home in 2017 with the anticipation that the Navasota River just west of us would be a barrier to development both commercially and naturally. How would the proposed eastern route of the loop better serve the objectives of Loop 214 when it would impede upon one of the largest acreage communities in Grimes County with a significant property tax base? Would placing the loop further to the east (closer to Terafab) better satisfy this county’s objective to allow the largest building in the world to be constructed? Or, would the residents of Bryan/College Station prefer an actual loop that serves THEIR own area?

  Peach Creek community has been home to 7 generations of my family. The Peach Creek Cemetery has family burials dating back over 200 years. This loop will not benefit any of the Peach Creek Community. This is an expansion that is unwarranted, unnecessary and disrespectful to the rich history and heritage of the families that were original settlers of Brazos & Grimes Counties. The needs of the cities and facilities that this plan apparently wants to “help” will not be well served with this loop. In my opinion Peach Creek & Rock Prairie Roads are already too close to the cities to be a loop around. To loop around the plans would need to be further out from the city AND the green space indicated in some areas is excessive. This plan is not practical for a city the size of BCS even considerin

  I am writing as a resident in King Oaks, a private subdivision of one- to five-acre executive-home parcels that is part of the City of Iola, in Grimes County, Texas, to formally object to both conceptual alignments currently proposed for Loop I-214 as part of TxDOT's I-14 Central Texas Corridor Study, and to request that TxDOT eliminate both alignments from further consideration. As presented at the Round 3 open houses (August 11–26, 2026), one conceptual I-214 route runs directly through King Oaks. TxDOT staff have confirmed this alignment would require the acquisition, through eminent domain if necessary, of my home and 59 other primary residences in this established subdivision.

  Why is the existing Hwy 30 corridor not being even considered? It is expected that living along that highway, expansion is likely and that pathway is likely subject to more eminent domain as the highway expands to accommodate more traffic. But this route frequently cuts through rural properties NOT close to hwy 30 and bisects family property, carving up small ranches (when cattle is already at a historic low and policies are being enacted to try and INCREASE them back). With the Terrafab project moving forward in Grimes County, has the E4 route been reassessed for actual cost? While at one point, the routes going through Grimes County were some of the lowest, I suspect that is no longer the case based on property values updated this year.

  Route E4 blatantly disregards existing transportation policy which uses existing roadways and/or interstate corridors. The SH 30 option, which follows SH 30 for most of its distance still requires upgrades along the entire route. But even if that route (E4) is chosen, WHY is the existing hwy 30 corridor not going to be used? What would that road (hwy 30) then become? It is not cost effective to have 2 major roads so close (less than a MILE apart!) and would only further seize more ranches, farms, natural areas - displacing rural property owners, cattle, natural flora and fauna, and destroying habitat for wildlife.

We fixed up this house for our family, for our kids, to grow up and grow old on. Another route runs directly over my grandparents land. On their land they have livestock. Livestock that supports their way of making a living. On their land we have made many many memories. We still do, and the only way we can continue to make those memories on my land and my grandparents is if the routes are changed. They aren’t making anymore land, don’t take what we’ve worked so hard for.

  We would like to see this new interstate follow the existing FM485 corridor as a closely as possible. Any deviation from that has huge negative impacts on the Walkers Creek Cemetery and existing homes. Fragmentation on property is a huge problem across rural America and I don't believe this new interstate should add to that growing problem. Straightening out the curve in 485 near Silver City is not necessary and has a huge negative impact on those living in the area. The area from Walkers Creek at FM 485 along Yellow Ridge to HWY 77 is a known area for Indian artifacts and camp locations also that should not be disturbed for this project.

  I think that this proposed I-14 route should stick to being closer to Cameron - Route 3 or 5 - because the other routes would take a lot of my family's land and move the highway very close to our houses if it doesn't take the land. Moving traffic away further from Cameron and other cities along the route will take away tax money from everyone that drives through there currently. I know it will have to go around the current towns, but keeping it closer to them is advantageous for everyone in Milam County. Whatever path you choose please try to keep our rural landscape as rural as you can in this area.

  Reasoning for Route 1 would affect least amount of people. Existing 485 is a heavy semi and local traffic area.

Our land, which has been in our family for generations, is home to a house, a barn, several stock tanks, and a small cattle operation. We have invested considerable effort into improving our property, which also includes dry creeks and is adjacent to land containing a saltwater injection well. The proposed development threatens not only our farm but also small farms and local wildlife throughout the area. Development in this corridor would negatively impact Kurten and its residents, many of whom have lived here for generations. Moreover, the interstate will primarily benefit travelers and trucking companies who do not live here, rather than the local community. If expanding trans

Family cleared the land by mule and plow, built the barn with hand tools. Plots were divided so cousins could each access water from the Maysfield Creek. Three generations are buried in Pebble Grove Cemetery down the road on 485. The proposed construction across FM 485 would be detrimental to our home, barn, pastures, cattle, and Maysfield’s community cemetery, Pebble Grove Cemetery. We believe remaining with the originally planned path south of Cameron would not harm Cameron or the surrounding communities.

  I think that the I-14 East path going from just North of Huntsville running south of the Gibbons Creek Reservoir makes the most sense. and I would vote for the 214 loop to be the smallest loop shown so that it circles Bryan/College Station closely. As far as Highway 6, it should stay exactly where it is but I am sure it will be widened. Please make sure that the intersections are safer to enter/exit than the one where it crosses CR 2549 now.

  I'm adamantly opposed to the proposed routes and construction of the I-14 route. Not only do the proposed routes overlap homes and personal land/property, they will destroy the surrounding areas in the name of "growth". A majority of the families who live on the outskirts of Bryan/College Station do so to reside away from the noise, traffic and congestion of the cities. Construction of this roadway will introduce increased traffic, light pollution, noise pollution and destruction of natural habitats. It's bad enough high density housing neighborhoods are now being planned/built in the area; building a large loop around BCS will further increase development and congestion of everything that is surrounded by the loop. While my home is thankfully not w/in the proposed route of I-14, it will b

  To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to strongly oppose the selection of any I-14 route that follows the path of FM 485 through Maysfield, TX (Cameron). My family owns the Ranch at 5940 E FM 485 in Maysfield. This land has been owned by our family for 6 generations, since the mid-1800’s. It is still an active Cattle Ranch, with our 100 year old home and 150 year old log barn still in use. Our neighbors along FM 485 have owned their homes for several generations as well, including the Bob Newton family and the Thweatts. Maysfield holds a lot of historical significance to many, and we know that an Interstate Highway through this area would effectively wipe Maysfield, TX off the map.

  From an engineering perspective, utilizing the existing US 190 corridor minimizes structural redundancy. US 190 already possesses an established, settled subgrade and a divided four-lane geometry. Upgrading its existing shoulders and optimizing its current interchange spacing to meet AASHTO interstate standards requires a fractional amount of earthwork and right-of-way acquisition compared to a greenfield loop. Conversely, constructing a new-footprint loop requires clearing a blank-slate 400-foot-wide right-of-way, creating massive hydraulic disruptions to rural watersheds, and constructing highly destructive, large-scale interchange footprints on private agricultural land.
