Truckers name I-80 worst road, won't support remedy

I'm in the Riverside area, grew up in Orange County, Anaheim, near Disneyland. But I didn't spend all that much time at home. We owned horses and after school I went riding.
Every day
Weekends ALL day.

The horses were boarded at stables. One such stable was at Harbor and First Street in Santa Ana, and I dated a girl who lived in Costa Mesa. She was into hockey, and practiced at the Ice Chalet in Costa Mesa, worked there too. So, we got free passes to the movie theater next door and got into the Sharks games. The Sharks practiced there too, back then.
Shoulda married her,...........LoL,
But I digress,.....................

Now-a-daze, "bottlenecks" are looonnng necks.
Find 'em everywhere.

 

Yeah, too many cars everywhere. I used to be a store manager at Mainly Seconds on Newport Blvd, right next door to Condom Revolution, interesting store. But the owner of our store chain had season tix to the Angels, and the Ducks and would give them out to the managers once in awhile. Nice deal.

 

I'd been wondering what you guys and gals had thought about (what was at the time the state I paid taxes in) Missouri's Amendment 2 (which I voted for: the law that says we can throw money at a road project to get it done faster) Which sped up the reconstruction and rebuilding of I-44 from Springfield to St Louis. I'd say that one's more improved, but maybe PA 80 had more potholes than MO 44.

 

An update...

I-80 toll conversion speeds on

PennDOT, turnpike commission to sign 50-year lease by Monday

Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission officials are to formally sign a landmark lease no later than Monday to convert Interstate 80 into a toll road.

The 50-year agreement is designed to create what they call a unique "public-public partnership" to generate a total of $116 billion.

It's the latest indication that the two agencies are moving full speed ahead with state legislation passed this summer to raise new transportation funds despite opposition from some elected officials, businesses and residents along the 311-mile highway.

Both parties have also set next Friday as the target date for submitting a joint application to the Federal Highway Administration, seeking its approval to designate I-80 as the third and last of three pilot interstate tolling projects permitted under a federal transportation act.
