It's another thing entirely to expand its capacity needlessly. The rest of the country has woken up to the folly of widening highways in the middle of a city. It's time for WI to take notice.

Should we leave it as is, with falling apart bridges and obvious safety issues? Should we pay the cost of deteriorating roads and substandard design leading to accidents with clear costs to life and property? That'd really stick it to those no-good conservatives out in Waukesha, wouldn't it? <br /><br />We need transit and we need a rebuilt Zoo Interchange. Don't blame WisDOT for the follies of the state legislature and Governor's budget processes. You should know they can't magically redirect money to transit, especially transit operations. Oh that they could, and that the RTA hadn't died an untimely death... Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
