Hmmmmmmm Maybe we could use these ideas to eliminate the freeways through our fine city. Just think if 94 and 35W didn't make it so easy to drive thru town. Busses and trains would make much more sense then. Maybe some of the suburbanites would actually consider living within say 10 miles of their employer rather than 40 or 50 in some cases. don't anyone get riled up by my words, I do not really advocate for getting rid of freeways.
