Mike Heiligenstein Quotations

We're at 50 percent complete. We're on time. We're on schedule. We expect to open this in March of 2007.

Land values have gone up abut 400 percent in the last year along some of these tracks here.

People can go, literally, from Manor to downtown Austin without stopping.

And there's literally hundreds, if not thousands, of new homes being planted along this corridor.

If you're driving on it today without paying a toll, you'll drive on it tomorrow without paying a toll. It's that simple.

How could you explain it so people really knew what they're voting on? We've gone through all the phases, and at every juncture, it's been approved. My perspective is that we're moving forward.

You could never put this on a ballot and make sense of it.
