Just to preface, I am not Willie Green.
I live in Santa Monica and my wife works in downtown LA. The 10 freeway in either direction is a nightmare and the worst I’ve seen in 22 years of living here. My wife is looking forward to the Expo line extension opening. We’ll see, based on the clientele, how long she sticks with it.
That said I agree that all the projects are boondoggles. Look how well the 405 widening has done to cut the traffic to/from the valley.
#14 I moved here in 1988 and they were working on the freeway project then. Anytime I went thru the Sepulvada pass I asked myself when is this going to be finished! They now have a carpool lane after near 25+ years of delaying traffic because of construction.
