Freeways are a thing of the past. In the future most new controlled access highways will be turnpikes. The interstate highway system has been built. In major cities they are rebuilding freeways that aren't even 30 years old, mainly to widen them..... <br />IF we are going to clean up our air, building more highways for more cars is not the answer. Most of the smog is caused by cars. The state of California is so concerned about losing federal highway funds, they have passed legislation whereby the automobile manufacturers will have to get into the golf cart business. In ten years..... <br />While we like our cars today, I am not so sure we will like our new cars in ten years. As Pogo once said, the enemy is us. <br />Here is news that everyone knows, but hardly participate in. IF more people will take public transit in the major cities, from 6 percent to 12 percent, to get to work and back, there wouldn't be any red or orange ozone days. IF 12 percent of the people took public transit everyday to work, we wouldn't need to import oil from the Persian Gulf....Funny thing is that the Europeans average 12 percent of its workers using public transit. Could it be the cost of fuel? If so, then it is time to double the price of gasoline. Then we would have a balanced budget again..... <br />
