Nobody in Marin County really wants to make it easier for Vallejo residents to get there. :)

And then one year after it's completed, they'll discover that it's sinking into the marsh.

The Millennium Tower is leaning, the new Bay Bridge span is cracking, and this new road will start sinking.

Hey, why don’t they build a new system of rails & trains!?

True. That's one of the reasons Marin isn't part of the BART system - the bond wasn't expected to pass because Marin sentiment was they didn't want the riff-raff to have easy access.

I know people who live in the first housing areas across 37 from Vallejo. Thieves come across the bridge, get off at the first exit, hit a couple of houses, and get back on the road to Vallejo. A year or two ago the neighborhoods put up cameras, so most of the thieves are now getting caught (and many are from Vallejo).

I wouldn't be surprised.

Don't forget the new $2 billion San Francisco Transbay Terminal. Opened for a couple of weeks, then structural flaws found. Shut down for four months so far. Maybe will open in June.

And last week the Richmond Bay Bridge was shut down for 12+ hours when football-sized chunks of concrete fell from the top deck to the roadway below.

But, despite deteriorating roadways and bridges, California has plenty of money to spend on services for illegal immigrants.
