It's another horrible project straight out of the 60s that doesn't actually solve any problems and is ultimately driven by traditional road fetishism and a lack of imagination. It perpetuates traffic problems by making it easier for people to live in far-flung places where 95% of people drive to work. Given the inaction of this city on actual plans to restrict sprawl, bad traffic is the only hope I have that things will actually begin to turn around naturally -- that people will seek to live closer to work so that they aren't stuck in gridlock every day.

Very well said!
