Interstate highways are usually funded and directed by the federal government and the money is appropriated by the US Congress. However, if you get to know your local state representative you might be surprised how receptive they are for input. As far as a new interstate highway is concerned most of the babble is by the left-wing radical environmentalist and just seems like it is the majority. Besides this country was not based on the majority we are a representative Republic not a democracy.

"Besides this country was not based on the majority we are a representative Republic not a democracy."
So if the state representatives aren't doing what the majority of their constituents want, how ARE they representing us?
"However, if you get to know your local state representative you might be surprised how receptive they are for input."
As I said, they are IGNORING the input they are getting and doing just as THEY want.
