State to consider West Side freeway

I'm sick and tired of these half-wit politicians dreaming up one project after another to suck more money out of us. If it ain't toll roads, it's red light cameras, or higher cigarette and liquor taxes, and even cola taxes. And, what do we get for our money? More crime, terrible roads, lousy schools. Until we stand up and throw the bastards out of office we're stuck with this crap! From this moment on, I'm not voting for a single imcumbent.

Exactly and this my point too. Why does it seem the ones who can least afford have to pay for these projects.

You do realize that there will be 2 free lanes in each direction and one toll lane in each direction right? ALso, this project will re-do that entire stretch of highway, even the free lanes. Anyone that doesnt want to use the toll roads, wont have to pay a dime.

I hope the state plans for several tunnels under the loop in order to cross under on bikes and in vehicles. Lower the congestion and keep it off the loop. Also, allow a utility area in the middle so that utilities can get in the right-of-way, without congesting traffic. A saved area should also be planned now for a 3rd lane in each direction of for mass transit for the future.
