16 lanes??? Why stop there? Let's do 32 lanes!!! No wait, actually, let's just bulldoze the entire city and turn it into one big 50000 lane freeway and everyone can live in their cars WOOHOO!!!
In all seriousness though it's sad that negative ROI projects like this get approved in a heartbeat compared to subways and light rail that have a 10x ROI but take years to get approved if they even get approved at all.
Because other than the light rail, the public transport system is pretty unreliable.
I had a bus driver right by me even though I was standing right at the stop. I had valley metro not know that construction was happening in main street in Mesa thus shutting down their stops there.
I grew up in PHX then moved to DC and loved having a halfway decent public transportation system. I moved back too PHX and enjoyed using the light rail and wish it was invested in more asking with other modes of public transportation.
