Petición dirigida a: TxDOT Waco District leadership and the TxDOT Executive Director

Route 5 is one of the proposed paths for the I‑14 corridor, and it would cut directly through established homes, family land, and a growing subdivision in Cameron. Many of us have lived here for years. Some families have been on this land for generations. This route would force people out of their homes, damage property values, and break apart a community that is already built and thriving.
Our neighborhood is not empty land. It is full of families, children, pets, and people who have worked hard to build their lives here. Route 5 would destroy houses, split properties, and create noise and traffic where people currently live in peace. There are other route options that do not harm existing homes or subdivisions.
We are asking TxDOT to remove Route 5 from consideration. Cameron deserves a route that supports growth without destroying the homes and land of the people who already live here. We want TxDOT to choose an option that protects our community, our safety, and our future.
By signing this petition, you are standing with the families who would be directly affected. You are helping protect Cameron from unnecessary damage. Your voice matters, and together we can make sure Route 5 is taken off the table.

Razones.

I live in the area directly affected by Route 5, and my concern is simple: this route would destroy homes, family land, and a growing subdivision that already exists. My neighborhood is not empty land. It is full of families, children, pets, and people who have worked hard to build their lives here.
According to TxDOT’s own I‑14 Corridor Study materials, Route 5 passes through multiple residential areas and developed properties. The official study map shows Route 5 cutting through existing homes and subdivided parcels in Cameron. This means real people would be displaced, property values would drop, and long‑standing family land would be permanently damaged.
TxDOT also states that routes with high residential impact are considered “high‑impact alternatives,” meaning they cause significant disruption to communities. Route 5 clearly falls into this category based on the study’s mapping and impact descriptions.
My concern is not just about land — it’s about the community we already have. We ask TxDOT to remove Route 5 from consideration and choose a route that does not destroy established homes or subdivisions.

Por qué la gente firma.

Future of Cameron.

To keep our land, livestock, and families from being uprooted. We live in the country, outside the big cities for a reason.

The inclusion of Route 5 in the IH-14 corridor planning threatens to devastate private property, small businesses, and thriving local ecosystems. Property owners and residents deserve transparency, fairness, and infrastructure paths that do not jeopardize local livelihoods. We formally request that TxDOT scrap Route 5 from its alignment studies and pursue alternative paths that respect existing communities.

We DO want the traffic near our property

This is my family home
