This is the ugliest vehicle I’ve seen all day. And I read that CT5 preview.

I-35, Austin, Texas

They hid the cars. It doesn’t look like anyone is in those parks, so it’s expensive green space and expensive to maintain tunnels. 

By capping I-35...this could lead to the creation of up to 4,500 market-rate and affordable housing units...

Once again this so-called auto enthusiast website embraces new urbanist goals. Does the staff even understand that new urbanists want to make it impossible for ordinary people to own automobiles let alone use them freely. As a vehicular bicyclist I spent enough time in their corners of the web to learn what they were…

If they start to force heavy trucks onto surface streets, theirs gonna be tons more activity at 11Foot8. Example:

Let alone the fact that I-5 runs from Mexico to Canada and is the main highway for the entire US west coast...

So they want to funnel all the semis and interstate traffic that travels through Denver onto city streets?

Just drove through Denver on I-70 on the way back from a ski trip, and I’ve got to roll my eyes at that one. Now, I don’t agree that Denver needs to widen it. It gets congested with Denver residents flocking to the mountains to ski on winter weekends (but more lanes isn’t going to fix that), but if you eliminate that…

Tear down I-5 through PDX? Rush hour traffic is bad enough despite the I-405 running parallel to it, and their proposal is to just use I-405? Get real.

To be clear, the report does not call for every highway to be replaced with housing, but rather to put in boulevards more in keeping with an urban environment, featuring green space and places for pedestrians to exist without fearing vehicular manslaughter.

You want to tear down I-70, literally the main artery that connects the West to the Midwest, to make room for housing and parks?

Highways facilitate trade and trade is good

Comparing them is like comparing apples to oranges: they’re both fruit, but you can’t just substitute one for the other.

F1 does not allow for unlimited development. If it did, we’d see things like active aero, thrust-vectoring jet engines, and variable contact patches. 

It’s almost like incentives matter.

Gotta keep the poors from driving on your roads.  And the hell with cheap deliveries, they should be using helicopters. 

I once lived in NYC for a few years with a room mate who refused to take the subway. Based my extensive experience (really not that much), here’s whats going to happen:

I love this. Their solution is to charge a commuter tax, which no one really wants to pay. And the commuter tax is to prop up the oh-so-efficient MTA. Yeah..we all know where the extra money will be going. Anyway, less drivers on the road = more people commuting by bus, subway, and rail, which will probably put more…

Am I the only one who thinks its wrong that they are charging people who drive into Manhattan to pay for the crumbling infrastructure of the Subway system?
