3-1 (and especially 3-2) seems more reasonable.
Do you think that this is going to be the start of a trend? Are we going to see a big push to get all of I-15 flanked by distributor-collectors in the same way we've seen a big push through the last decade+ to have all of I-15 widened to 5 lanes + HOV in each direction?

I'd been thinking that the freeways were about as wide as they could get already, and that money for new construction would now be spent on a wider variety of projects, such as upgrading FrontRunner. I'm fine with this current project, since this section of I-15 is at the confluence of both I-15 and I-215 - but I'm also kind of nervous that this could set off a whole wave of new Collector-Distributor widening projects that will soak up all available new-construction money.
