[quote=Anonymous]I worked as a civil engineer for 20 years and did numerous highway and infrastructure projects. Most of the the delays weren't due to regulations or environmental oversight. I did tons of environmental impact studies and if anything it took months, or a year tops, not the years of delay. It was due to lack of political will, lack of willingness to fund the project, or outright political shenanigans, holding funds hostage in tit-for-tat games, or crying poverty while the infrastructure fails. Over the holidays I went to visit family only to end up a congested traffic area that we did a study on and thought back to all the way back in 2002 when I did the whole study on widening and improving that stretch of highway. I think it's only just in the last year or two that they've actually started working on getting the funding. It's all political games, more than anything.[/quote]
