Yes, there you go again indeed. Once again, all I said was that you need enough space AS IF you were building 3 tracks, plus some extra margin for safety - you don't actually have to build 2 new ones before you close the middle one, nor did I ever say so. You DO need as much SPACE, for a while, for 3 tracks - because you're building the new track next to the old track (in the center).
Do you ever get tired of trying to mislead people, or what?
And if you really don't know anything about Mopac, why are you sharing your opinion on it with us anyways? TXDOT is expanding mostly toward the inside (using up most of the interior shoulder), getting some space by narrowing lanes, and taking a bit of right shoulder - NOT just by expanding out. At the end of this process, cars/buses will be closer to the train tracks than they are today.
