Overcoming #fossilfuel and #CarDependency: As Swire said during the meeting, there's nothing wrong with turning an additional lane into a #BusOnly lane. And perhaps it's okay to #convert existing lanes into HOV or #tolllanes. But this idea of continuing to add new lanes when that clearly doesn't reduce #traffic #congestion - that it in fact leads to worse #outcomes including more #deaths, injuries, and #pollution - is just contemptible.
