The ironic thing is that when each of your new projects gets built because of the upgraded road project, the upgraded road project won't have been needed.
For instance, had they spent the money on double tracking FrontRunner that they are using to add yet another lane on I-15 through the mi-south end of the valley, the increased FrontRunner capacity and speed would have cancelled out the need for the road project.
