Amazing what people put up with because they can't figure out how to get to work without a car. I saw this story on the Madison, Wisconsin, newspaper web site and the local response was the following:
"He said state and regional governments are looking at several short- and long-term solutions, such as increasing the number of ramp meters on the Beltline, re-engineering the interchanges to increase the traffic flow and looking for funds to increase lanes on strained highways."
Increasing lanes never works.
There has been talk about a regional light rail, but it's needed now, not in 10 years. And again, people don't want to pay for it. But they'll pay for more roads. How stupid can you be?
