FORT BEND COUNTY -- "Stop" is a word you hear often, but for those fighting the Grand Parkway expansion, it's an acronym.

One side says what's happening is progress. The other side says make progress, but don't make it near their suburban homes.

The Grand Parkway expansion is an extention of Highway 99. It's expected to become a more than 180 mile stretch of road and will cross seven counties.

Many call it the answer to a growing southeast Texas population.

But the group Stop Tolls on Parkway, has created a video that they say shows the expansion close to homes, which they say would lower property values. STOP also says the air will become dangerous to breathe, because of the number of trucks that would use the highway to get to and from the ports of Houston, Galveston and Freeport.

"I think it’ll change our lives completely," resident Pamela Cortes said. "I mean dealing with the additional traffic that doesn’t even belong here is gonna be frustrating. We’ve already talked about the noise and the air pollution, and how it’s going to belt us in for all these neighbors."

Opponents of the plan will gather Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. at the River Pointe Church in Richmond.
