There are also economic models for transportation regarding congestion that prove this irrefutably. It sounds like the reason foundation wants to add tunneling through granite, then paving those tunnels to address the problem. Hardly reasonable. Can we please put the notion and discussion of this tunnel where it belongs, in the trash, and focus on expansion of regional rail initiatives?

Sure felt like it last time I was there. And how exactly does one go about getting a subscription to Tunnel Business Magazine? I'd love to check out their centerfolds.
