Summary
Denton says it wants to go green, but the city is still pouring money into building more roads instead of better public transit. It’s a major disconnect between the city’s climate promises and how they’re actually spending our tax dollars.

Impact analysis
We're locking ourselves into long-term maintenance costs for car-dependent infrastructure instead of investing in more efficient, future-proof transit systems.
Drivers and suburban developers are the ones currently seeing the most immediate return on these infrastructure investments.
Residents who rely on public transit or want a cleaner environment are getting left behind by these outdated spending habits.
