Tunnel Vision Challenge update! 1. University Hills Loop: Great initial meetings with regulators. Many more to come. Hoping to submit a permit application in April. Goal is to strengthen access to transit/jobs in South Dallas, and possibly then extend/connect to North Dallas. 2. NOLA Loop: Great initial meetings with elected officials and the Convention Center. Many more meetings to come. Goal is to strengthen connectivity by the Convention Center and Business District, and reduce event related congestion. 3. Ravens Loop: After initial meetings, this project unfortunately will not be moving forward as part of the competition. What does everyone think? Should TBC select another project to fill the now-open third slot?

Tunnel Vision Challenge results! We've been overwhelmed with the amazing submissions…so we are announcing three winners! The Thrilling Three are: - NOLA Loop (New Orleans, LA) - Ravens Loop (Baltimore, MD) - University Hills Loop (Dallas, TX) What happens next? TBC and the project stakeholders enter into a rigorous diligence process which includes: - Meetings with elected officials, regulators, community leaders, and business leaders - Geotechnical borings - Utility and subsurface infra investigation Once the diligence (100% funded by TBC) is complete, if all 3 projects are feasible, will fund/build all 3 - this would be awesome. If only 1 is feasible, will fund/build 1. IN ADDITION, there were multiple other projects that TBC thought were so compelling that we are going to continue to work with the entrants and try to get them built. This includes the following two: - Hendersonville Utility Tunnel (Hendersonville, TN) - Morgan's Wonderland Tunnel (San Antonio, TX) Thanks again to all of the participants - your enthusiasm and positivity has been inspiring for the TBC team.
