Why would you choose to live right next to 495 if your kid has asthma? These arent poor people without options

Right. I suppose you recommend I ride my bike to bring my kid to school across the American Legion bridge.


Are there no schools on your side of the river? That’s so sad.

That neighborhood and swim club should never have been built, the access is terrible. People who bought there thinking the highway would never be widened are dumb.

Yup. Widening the roads is a cop out instead of doing the very hard work to find other solutions. Good for them.

I think they have a valid point -- after the environmental review, substantial changes were made to the plans. At the very least, it's worth a new review.

And people wonder why infrastructure costs so much more to build in the US than any other country in the world
