” The 15 on sigalert used to be red every morning and evening. Now it seems its not. ”
This I believe is a direct result of our state of economy. Fewer jobs, costler fuel.
While we can pro/con rails, freeway lanes, the main point is we are now well behind the curve. I’m not pleased with SANDAG and CalTrans, etc. for not heeding their own population forecasts and building infrastructure before it becomes a real ( expensive ) problem to fix.
30 yrs ago they expanded the I15 from Corona to Temec. It was empty for years but ready for the building boom that followed. This was good foresight.
Of course the funding is always an issue, but when I see we the State dipping into the transporting funds ( gas tax ) and diverting into the general budget.. that is a problem.
