“It’s free to ride through its first three years because of a stipulation in federal funds the project received.”
and spoken like a True Kamala Harris word salad wanna be…
“Utah has long sought a better transit connection in the heart of Salt Lake County, as officials know that building more roads or expanding existing ones won’t fix traffic problems as the county grows, Pearson explained. It creates induced demand, a phenomenon in which more roads lead to higher traffic demand, thereby not solving traffic congestion.”
Do ya think that when the next Big Freeway project comes up he’ll remember that adding lanes doesn’t fix anything?
This has exactly nothing to do with better access to anything, it has everything to do with one thing, FREE FEDERAL DOLLARS many of which will land in the pockets of the very politicians that stand there smiling for a photo opp.
There is an art to designing highways that just making more lanes may be some help but it is the choke points that have the hard effect of highway traffic. Seattle has a choke point when going through the city. It is not going to help to build wider roads around this choke point. You need to get rid of that choke point. Then going from Washington state or going to Washington state from Portland has a choke point. For some reason the Interstate 5 you have to go on an exit to stay on the Interstate 5. It is always bogged up. These roads need to flow clear from off and on ramps and create a smooth flow. In Los Angelas it is a good example of this. In the middle of the day a normal half hour drive takes three hours. I have seen the best going from LA to San Diego. A guy was on the side of the freeway on the back of his truck with a telescope looking towards the ocean. Traffic was backed up for miles then when you passed the guy on the truck the traffic cleared up. I know everybody was trying to see what he was looking at but could not see anything. It was a telescope! This was traffic you cannot fix, where onlookers and the curious slow the traffic down.
I had a female go the wrong way at the grocery store and she was yelling at me like it was my fault I was in her way. She was in an accident in the roundabout shortly thereafter. All I could think is karma is a bitch too!
You know Brother I feel the same way. The Radical Liberal Lunatic Socialist Lefty now has a tough road to hoe. Where ‘MAGA-Trumpers- Conservative-Right Winger’s’ were once the TARGET! It appears that the Left is just itchin’ to be the FAILED PARTY FRONT RUNNER. Never have a witnessed BAT SH!T CRAZY POLITICIANS that even their own supporters (prolly now Former Supporters) take a step back and say ‘Hold the phone Spamburger that’s not what I signed up for’.
And to cut this short my Belief is these folk’s won’t just be out of a job but most definitely ‘OUT OF A LIFE’ for TREASON and CORRUPTION (Then there’s the whole Killing Babies and Drinking their LIFE FORCES thingy but my view ‘There is DEAD and there is DEAD’ so whichever way they wish to Opt Out. Oh and let’s not forget the LAWFARE, Alphabet Agency Royal screwing of Trump and yes yes the (is it 4 or 5 Assassination attempts?) We don’t know the half of it prolly…
The Wacky Liberals are in for a RUDE awakening----we don’t forget crazy.
