"We're not trying to stop the project, but make it a better project,"

Self canceling phrase...

It's about cars.

We had this problem in Indianapolis. They ran I70 through residential areas without compensation to the people within the blastzone of the highway.

When they did the Super 70 project it was just more of the same, but less traffic (I noticed on a trip through the area since nobody I know lives next to the highway anymore).

People love their highways ~ they despise the people they damage with them.

I've often thought that if the folks living beside an Interstate quality road were given hunting licenses that qualified them to just pick off every ten thousandth driver with a high powered rifle from their rooftops that would change minds quick.

Make it all legal of course ~ no vigilante stuff ~ just a simple license like you might get to take deer or other wild game.

Fundamentally the public attitude as expressed by public officials responsible for constructing and maintaining these roads in residential areas is pretty primitive and we need to take drastic measures to bring them up to civilized standards ~ like PAY PEOPLE to move.

"... it's been just about moving cars, and doesn't consider other types of mobility."

This is an early example of where all the money will go in Obama’s wet dream of spending on infrastructure.

Let them bicycle all they want wherever and whenever they want.

In reality bikes have nothing to do with leftists attempting (once again) to run (and ruin) everyone else's life.

The Caldecott tunnel has needed expansion for at least thirty years, perhaps longer. Currently they use remote control dividers to switch the lane orientation to accommodate morning versus afternoon commuter traffic.

Wonder if they destroyed my favorite (1968-ish) parking spot with the third bore.

Orinda side, west bound; take the access road, and curve up and over the tunnel entrance. Large, secluded parking area to, uhh, erm, watch the pretty lights of the traffic.

To leave, continue around, down opposite side access road, and back onto east bound lanes.
