Why does this article go on and on about dams? lol
Using the historical evidence that brought down another infrastructure giant as a roadmap on how to stop big highway.
I want to add that not only are the # of lanes increasing, but the size of each lane is also increasing. Every street my city remakes goes from 10ft lanes to 12 to 14ft lanes, sometimes with giant dead lanes in the middle or on the side. One of the stroads I used to cross on foot went from 50ft wide to 100ft wide. It is sincerely, deeply unhinged how we are destroying our cities with asphalt and concrete
What are we gonna do with that extra space? Bike lanes? Better crosswalks? Damn liberals
No i got that part, it just seemed like it went on and on. lol
Because it was the same problem, just a different infrastructure.
