Interesting factoid. Tons of pithy and witty comments too.

I live in Thousand Oaks, about 6 or so miles north of where they are talking. The 101 does create a formidable barrier right through the mountains there, effectively creating a peninsula of canyons from West LA & Santa Monica to Camarillo.

However, I’ve been around here for about 7 years, commuted on that stretch for 3, and there’s been nasty wrecks on that stretch but I’ve never, ever, seen roadkill. Certainly, there are no stories about deer and mountain lions being killed on that freeway. Additionally, there are connecting roads under and over the freeway, there’s probably no-more than a 4 mile gap between those exits.

My bet is it’s another corrupt deal between the lawmakers and construction labor and suppliers, with a few land owners benefiting too
