I'm also looking at the new outer-ring highway which isn't widening but is included as part of on-going infrastructure spending, and will create new lane miles of highway.
That's the money I want to see re-allocated to other priorities. I have no objection pothole filling.

You are. Houston is a city that overwhelming relies on freeway infrastructure and this is thread is about replacing obsolete freeway infrastructure. We are well beyond routine maintenance. It has to be replaced.
