Why are they absurd man? Kansas City is currently building a new bridge (the Christopher Bond Bridge in honor of the former Missouri governor and current, soon to be retired Senator) that will replace a 1954 span that long ago outgrew it’s ability to handle daily traffic demands. The new bridge will allow six lanes of traffic on I-35 and is purported to be expandable to 8 lanes.
So if 16 lanes are needed at certain times of day in Portland, why not? High speed or slow speed, light or heavy rail is not the answer. It contrains freedom to move about and isn’t freedom the bulwark of a free and prosperous nation, any nation?
So, Willie, you work for Westinghouse in Pittsburgh, right?
Railroads don’t go where I want to go when I want to go there. They don’t stop when and where I want to stop for an ammount of time I want to stop for.
Looking at the fantasy failroad plans, it looks like they have every intent of keeping me from going where I want.

Where did you get the silly idea that 16-lanes
will provide "freedom to move about"?
