[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone who has studied the history of Los Angeles freeways/highways should know that any money put towards adding lanes or any type of bridges isn't going to fix the traffic problems.
You buy a single family home in the suburbs and it’s your problem.[/quote]
More lanes will allow more people to cross the bridge.[/quote]

You just repeated what the top PP said. More lanes will allow more people to sit in traffic.[/quote]
It will increase capacity. If the worst case scenario is that traffic will move just as slow, at least more people can move slowly.[/quote]

"Hey, let's spend billions of dollars to create bigger traffic jams!"[/quote]
No. Let’s spend billions to allow more people to get to where they need to go like jobs that facilitate economic activity. [/quote]

If you REALLY wanted that result, then you would support the expansion for mass transit. Spending on single occupancy cars is a fools errand.[/quote]
Cars and transit are not mutually exclusive. Need more capacity for cars and if there is a case for adding transit they can do that too. The current plan is to provide buses priority access to the HOT lanes, which makes a lot of sense. [/quote]

Why do we need more capacity for cars? There isn't already enough congestion?[/quote]
