The East Loop Opposition, also known as No East Loop, believes this 20-mile 4-lane divided highway with a 300-foot Right-of-Way unfairly burdens many property and home owners of eastern Brazos County. Homes will be torn down, farm & ranch land will be cut in half, wildlife will be disrupted, natural creeks and springs will be disturbed, and agricultural production will be impeded. In addition, the enjoyment of rural life outside of the city, especially those that moved from larger cities, will be decimated. With a 10-15 year project completion estimate, this highway is about future metropolitan development and does not ease the traffic burdens on Highway 6 needed yesterday.

On May 6, 2025, Brazos County Judge Duane Peters stated this entire project has been "fully transparent" and that our accusations that it has been anything less are incorrect. He used his bully pulpit to address the Commissioners Court, all while hearing residents make pleas in the citizen comment period of the weekly meetings for months asking for a public, on-the-record discussion about the Inner East Loop. Since we are yet to be able to have any kind of discussion or debate with our elected officials, but continued to get talked at, we have released a rebuttal to Judge Peters' recent lecture. The documents that Judge Peters used in that May 6th meeting can be seen HERE.

The second round of alignments, released also on May 6th, are currently being evaluated and are expected to be set as early as this summer 2025. Once the alignment is indefinitely constrained (set), property owners will not be allowed to build or use their property to its full enjoyment, yet while still paying taxes, whether the highway is ever built or not. Residents of eastern Brazos County are attending the weekly Brazos County Commissioners meetings asking that the $11.2 million "study" be cancelled or paused until an actual independent traffic study be done that reflects the expected changes in Highway 6 expansion and East-West road improvements. The pricetag on this highway has yet to be set but we expect it to cost upwards of a billion dollars.

Judge Duane Peters has gone on a press junket speaking with numerous media outlets. On Friday May 2nd, a propaganda piece was released by Brazos County defending the Inner East Loop despite the fact that Brazos County General Counsel Bruce Erratt just two weeks prior said that the Inner East Loop was "in fact, not county business."

Judge Peters declined two opportunities to speak to the residents at No East Loop Opposition organized Town Halls, however did speak at a B/CS Chamber of Commerce event with a $175 ticket price. Precinct 2 Commissioner Chuck Konderla spoke at the first NEL Town Hall and reiterated that the $11.2 million "study" being performed by Quiddity is "just a study" despite it including much more than a traffic study (see the contract HERE).

The funding of the $11.2 million comes from a Bond Package passed by 29% of the voting population in November of 2022 and the details of that have been called into question by the No East Loop Opposition. A "documentary" movie was shown at the No East Loop Town Hall in February that sheds more light on the story of how this plan came to fruition, the parties involved, the $15,000/month consultant John Polster, whom insists he is NOT a lobbyist, and the PAC and its donors that paid to promote the Bond Package.​
