SoCal ping
How many lanes?
Traveled numerous times on Pearblossom Highway. It was the break between the northern LA freeway and the super fast freeway to Vegas.
Finally, a California transportation project that is actually needed.
Palmdale and Lancaster have seen their populations surge

Gang/illegal infestation.
High speed road doesn’t sound as sexy to socialist utopian corporate connect planners as High speed rail.
Still waiting for those flying cars they promised back in the ‘60s.
So now we can add sales tax dollars to the state increase in gasoline taxes, toll roads, increased car registration fees, and the much talked about plan to start taxing by miles driven.
Pretty soon (if they haven’t already) they’ll establish a sex tax so that you have to pay the state to have relations with your spouse, because revenue is so lacking when it comes to the cost of roads.
And besides, all the wear and tear brought on my massive numbers of illegal aliens, who cares if they can’t afford to pay more. They deserve to have decent roads to drive on.
It would be interesting to know what percentage of the cars on the road during rush rush our in Southern California, are being driven by illegal immigrants.
How would it effect our drive, to have one in every 4-5 cars off the road, when the illegals repatriate?
We don’t need new roads. We need the free-loaders to vacate. NOW!
Whew, for a minute I thought they were going to give the taxpaying citizens a new freeway to help with the ghastly commutes. I would have been stunned with shock.
L.A. County has never joined the northern end of the 710 freeway to the southern end of the 210 freeway.
Those two terminal ends are only miles apart, and should have been linked decades ago.
Why weren’t they? Because those few miles run through the heart of South Pasadena - some of the priciest real estate in SoCal.
I didnt vote for that b.s., but the majority of leftist scum in my state surely did.
It’s already clogged to a long parking lot.
Since it will run along and nearly parallel to the San Andreas earthquake fault, they should name it the San Andreas Freeway. Or maybe shake n’ bake highway.
Like a project in an African nation, it’ll cost $100 billion and never be finished after everyone takes their bribes.
What’s wrong with the 14? It’s 3 lanes in each direction ...
Connecting Palmdale and Landcaster. Well, that should be good for meth sales.
That should appeal to New Yorker's and other eastern urban types, the ones that skewed California politics in the 70's. L.A. wants to be more like eastern liberal hellholes.
So glad I lived there growing up in the Golden Age, only to see the decline. Got out just in time, cashing in on the insane real estate prices. We get a biter laugh out of the news of decay and degradation.
The desert was my playground as a child/youth. We use to climb & build treehouses in the Joshua trees. Good times.
Why not just build a giant conveyor belt? You drive onto the belt from side street belts, You have a choice to put it in park for a long ride or you can let the auto drive take over because on the beltway (!) You have no control....
It will be another 25 years before they even turn dirt, if at all. All it needs is an endangered bug and this will just join the ash heap of planned but never finished projects. But just think of all those people who will get paid for years in the planning process.
