Your focus is on cities. I avoid them like the plague.

We passed a bill recently in Missouri mandating that federal dollars for roads actually get spent on roads. Pretty radical huh?

We have had a tremendous amount of road construction since then. Adding lanes, replacing bridges, re-surfacing highways. We had a long way to go because MODOT blew it the last time we passed a tax increase and didn't get squat done. They were replaced with people that could get get it done.

Our company was focused on cities because that is where the money was (and the majority of problems). The best example of the futility of added lanes is the example I gave of the Los Angeles to Las Vegas corridor on Interstate 15. This problem / solution only applies to crowded corridors (like Interstate 4 between Orlando and Tampa).

We no longer do transportation studies. Long term strategy indicated no money in it.
