Just wait until they remove a lane from the Gardiner next year.

Fire code says that you need 24' from face of curb to face of curb to setup a fire truck and put the outriggers out when required.

I get a free pass to fart as much as I want if become an astronaut?

They call it induced demand.

We have a shit-show coming.
