this was all fine and good till you guys decided to post this idiotic piece on your site. <br /> <br />6: ODOT claims that the I-40 crosstown is crumbling. (Why does ODOT continue to let maximum weight trucks pass through at will?) <br /> <br /> why the attack on trucks? where the heck else are trucks supposed to go? I drive through Oklahoma all the time and except for the turnpike, the roads are pure crap. especially around Oklahoma City. I-40 through town is overflowing with traffic and it has some dangerous interchanges and curves. it really needs to be widened and rerouted. if an old rail yard and some unused crumbling tunnels ahve to go, so be it. it's for the benefit of everyone. <br /> <br /> <br />now if the station was going to be destroyed, i would be all for this. but me, and anyone else that has to drive 40 across town all the time would happily sacrafice some unused tracks and tunnels for a safer drive. <br /> <br /> <br />but i can almost guarantee that the citizens will regret losing that space when the new interstate is clogged with traffic and they have nowhere to put a commuter or light rail line. it is too bad that cities look to more interstates before they look at light rail. they should pay attention to Southern California, where all the highways are clogged and there is no room to build more. now they want commuter and light rail but they have nowhere to put that either. <br /> <br /> <br />but those are just my opinions...i could be wrong.
