So you've got a great alternate route through downtown you want to share.  Or maybe you have some observations about the Fix I-5 project that you think others should know about. Great!  First you'll need to register. This is to prevent anonymous spammers from invading the blog.  Registering is easy and your e-mail address with not be published. Just click on the text link in the upper righthand corner that says "join." You'll be asked for a username, a password, and an e-mail address.  That's it.  Be sure to keep your un/pw handy in the future.  You'll need to sign in if you want to post comments.  But you can always view the blog without signing in.  You just won't be able to post.  Thanks for checking out the blog!

this hwy project reveals a systemic failure of leadership at its core. not because of inconvenience to drivers -- there is no shortage of apologies about this -- but because the project itself is a band-aid on a broken system.

private car commuting is wasteful, dangerous and expensive. where is the vision to make it better? even if only for the duration of the "fix" why not make this a productive experiment to see what other methods will work?

easy examples: park-n-ride lots; more buses; compensation to businesses to encourage tele-commuting or carpooling...

more difficult examples might include round-tables on urban planning; restrictions that hold developers accountable for traffic demands (as they do for sewage, utility); applying the I-5 money toward alternate vehicle testing in this area.

am i the only one out here who thinks that the bureaucracy is steering the ship here? come on, people; it's not the 1950s anymore. we need better solutions than re-paving and expanding our highways. think about that the next time you are stuck in traffic on your newly-paved I-5.
