Hello, I'm Michael Morris Transportation Director at the North Central Texas Council of Governments.

Thank you for letting me speak to you today.

There's a lot of people we need to thank five groups.

I’m gonna do it quickly: Governor's Office, Chairman Bugg, TxDOT headquarters thank you very much.

The Regional Transportation Council - your great partner through the process of getting a 635 East. 

TxDOT Dallas staff, Kelly Selman previously, Mo and your team now, terrific group of people.  

Great delivery of a project, great ability to construct that.

It's in good hands.  

I want to thank all the local elected officials - you hung in there for a long period of time, over two or three decades to finally get all four phases of LBJ done.

Thank you and to the residents of Garland and Dallas and Mesquite.

Thank you for being there in good times and bad times when the project was dragging and when  we're finally getting to implementation.  

Your heart and soul was behind this particular project.

Thank you to all. Congratulations to all.
