DANG!
F*** gaia like a drunken prom date.
I love I69. Can’t wait until it is finished.
Jeez louis. This idiotic fight has been going on for at least a couple decades. Highways don’t kill the environment, commie morons. It’s sad that it was delayed at all.
If stopping this HWY, can save just one life, it is worth the effort. /s
It for the children!!!!
The new I-69 between Evansville and Indianapolis is a key component to the future economic vitality of southwestern Indiana, and will connect an entire region with improved access to jobs, education and healthcare.
Yep, those are all definitely BAD things,you know, improved regional access to jobs, education and healthcare. Better to avoid job, education and healthcare access. Therefore, might I suggest that a dirt bike path built along the same route as I-69 would be more environmentally sound?
Any one looking at a map of Indiana can see that Evansville, Henderson, KY, Owensboro, KY and that entire region will benefit greatly, economically from I-69. Let’s get it built.
The joke in southeast Indiana is you can’t get to Evansville from here
Even so, he vowed to continue fighting for a more environmentally friendly building process.
Trying to take away highways in Indiana is like trying to take away guns or apple pie, he said. Its Gods highway. When God comes back for the second coming, Hes coming in on I-69.
Well, obviously Tokarski - like almost all socialist Gaia-worshippers - doesn't really want God to come down I-69, does he
Sometimes you get something in your life that is really important and you just have to go with it, even if you know youre not going to win, Tokarski said”
New I-69 is already having a “Dramatic effect on the environment”.
It is bringing lots of JOBS and a measure of prosperity to a poor part of the state, that was hard to access. Liberals hate that.
“I love I69. Cant wait until it is finished.”
Agreed...
It is 11 miles longer to take the new I-69 (When finished) to Nashville from Indianapolis, and it will be MUCH quicker than taking I-65.
It will end up taking a good percentage of traffic off of 65, which if anyone who drives it regularly can attest, can be a TRUE nightmare.
“The joke in southeast Indiana is you cant get to Evansville from here”
We can say the same thing about Valparaiso, IN.
An east-west thruway has helped, but mostly it just gets travelers and goods through the area faster without stopping. It's where I was born and raised. Between Erie, PA and Binghamton, NY it's Nagasaki 1946, business-wise. But truly beautiful country as a place to live, if you can find work.
Until I read that there was mud in the creek beds, I was for the project. Mud people, how can you be for mud in a creek bed. /s
I-69 will go to Memphis, not Nashville.
They really need to do some drug testing in Indiana. My 2 year old could draw a straighter right-of-way for a highway than those pot-heads did.
But I guess it’s still better than nothing.
I-69 connects the Canadian border with the Mexican border, and connects to roads in Canada and Mexico, which falls under the category of "integrating infrastructure", which some conspiracy kooks say is building the NAU.
At the north end of I-69 is Port Huron, Mich. The busiest US/CN crossing.
At the south end, in the lower Rio Grand Valley, is a grid of interstates that include I69C, I69E, I37, I2, I10, I35 to connect Laredo(the busiest US/Mex port), McAllen, and Brownsville to Port Huron.
This is just a single road of many that is part of reconfiguring the US road system and rails that began with the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991(ISTEA pronounced Ice Tea) and pushed along by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009(the Obama stimulus). Obama gave Texas $2.5 billion for roads, plus the money for improvements to ports(Houston and Galveston).
This is going on all over the world.
That Tokarski guy is right. This whole country is already a vast, lifeless wasteland because of all of those other interstates—a little less so due to US highways.
