Wow 11%? That's a little high for how how we do business around these parts. Usually the infrastructure projects that get the most money are ones used less than 10% by the population.That's how we role.
The rest of the funds are used to cook up homemade BS "studies" that are designed to spread propaganda to the population.
However, with that being said, don't know if I would characterize HOV lanes as being "outdated" by any means. I think its actually one of the rare instances where the region takes a practical approach to managing traffic WITHOUT hurting other modes of transportation.
