Haha! Shocking that I of all people forgot about Frederick and Benton
.Also, Homer-Watson north of Ottawa.
And I mean, this list is only the clearly overbuilt roads...like roads which would see LOS A or B when reduced to 2 lanes. This is to say nothing of slightly more radical opinions like, not using only LOS to measure congestion, or *gasp* arguing that completely free flowing traffic 100% of the time achieved by having more road capacity than the free market will consume even when priced at 0 dollars should not necessarily be a societal goal.
I've said many times, "government waste" people usually fake...we've got literally billions of dollars of government waste all over the region and these same anti-waste folks would throw a tantrum if you tried to stop that waste.
It reminds me of when they reduced the garbage collection schedules and people would...in the same breath...complain about taxes and object to a more cost effective garbage plan being put in place.
