[quote=Anonymous]It's a recognition that 1. Widening highways for "congestion relief" only leads to more driving and more congestion 2. While also contributing to air pollution, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions 3. And dumping the additional cars on local roads that aren't any bigger 4. Plus the for-profit company that's supposedly going to build it will only make a profit if the "free" lanes stay backed up 5. Plus taxpayers have ended up on the hook for the projects that the for-profit company has built elsewhere 6. Plus it was unlikely to get federal approval anyway because there are alternatives that are less damaging to the environment Other than that, though... (And the solution to inadequate transit is to fund better and more transit.)[/quote]
