Opinion analysis and election recommendations from the Dallas Morning News editorial board.
Plano faces big traffic challenges as booming suburbs to the north create additional pass-through congestion. An analysis of annual traffic enforcement shows three of every five stops involved a non-Plano resident. That points to the real growth in Collin County -- Frisco, Prosper, McKinney, Celina and Allen, whose residents pass through Plano on their way to jobs in Dallas.
This region has to be smarter about how people get around. Congestion can no longer be addressed solely by building more roads, which can temporarily relieve pressure but also lead to unmanaged growth that will again clog roads. As travel times increase, residents will continue to face reduced productivity, higher insurance rates, rush hours that start earlier and last longer, worse air quality and many other social and economic costs.
North Texas is one of the most successful regions in the United States. However, the region must take steps now to stay ahead of growth or risk becoming a victim of past successes.. Dallas Morning News editorials are written by the paper's Editorial Board and serve as the voice and view of the paper. The board considers a broad range of topics and is overseen by the Editorial Page Editor.
