Funding for Interstate 35 and other Texas Department of Transportation projects throughout the state will be cut, but by how much is a question no one can answer, said Ken Roberts, TxDOT-Waco District public information officer. City and regional transportation planners were put on alert last week after an internal memo out of TxDOT in Austin calling for $1.4 billion in funding cuts for the I-35 Waco District expansion plan through Temple and Waco was circulated through a Killeen-Temple Urban Transportation Study (K-TUTS) meeting. The region would then only receive $100 million over 11 years for maintenance of the interstate in the area, and other projects would be need to be cut altogether, according to the memo. by Jennifer Marciniak
