Wow...Kelly thrived all those years without it. How did the Department of Defense live without this fantastic highway all these years? The money they are wasting here could have been used to make more streets with curbs and sidewalks...even expansion of the River Walk all the way up to San Pedro Park (an old dream of the cities....contect San Pedro Creek with the river walk and have the walk go up to the park) Something that doesn't exist in areas and can be used by the normal citizens of San Antonio.
Um....the same way Austin has thrived all these years without implementing a highway system. It don't make sense but it happens. Even though I agree that there is a desperate need for basic amenities (especially on the Southside), it still won't change the fact that KellyUSA is hard to reach and needs better connections if it is to become a significant manufacturing center. Anytime pork finds it's way to the long-ignored Southside, it's a good thing. If we want to talk about what else the money could be used for....we could go on for days but it wouldn't need to be in this thread.
