There is a lot of controversy over the issue of Minnesota transportation dollars going to non-road uses.  It is pretty obvious that most of the political class in Minnesota are New Urbanists, and as such, they hate private automobiles and highways, and love light rail and bicycles.  What seems to work for them is to let highway construction and maintenance fall behind so there is always a public clamor to fix it, and in exchange for promises they make to fix it, they get the tax funds to divert to their favorite darlings.  So broken highways and traffic jams are their golden goose.  They feed the goose deferred highway maintenance and the goose lays golden eggs for light rail and bicycle trails.  Apparently, in the case of the bridge collapse, they got a little careless about what they fed the goose.  Broken highways and traffic jams are the perfect goose diet, but a bridge collapse should not have been on the menu because they guaranteed the bridge would not collapse.
