This is a thinly veiled…

This is a thinly veiled attempt to fast track environment-destroying and congestion-inducing highway projects.

It is well known within transportation studies and beyond that building more highways DOES NOT reduce congestion. I am supremely disappointed that our government is ignoring reality and allowing vested interests of the construction and automobile industry to guide their decision making.

We do not want more highways, more cars, more traffic and less bikes. We want MORE public transportation, MORE light rails, FASTER and CHEAPER trains, MORE bike lanes, and a SUV tax to reduce the size of cars.

The solutions above are what will actually reduce congestion. Please take a look at leading cities in the world like Amsterdam, Copenhagen and London. They are doing things right. Please build safe, clean and pleasant cities for us and our children. We do not need more highways that will destroy the environment.
