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.
