Sure a moving car emits less pollution than one stuck in congestion, but eliminating congestion at a given point (or over a small area) does not necessarily mean that region wide pollution decreases. It could mean that, but it doesn't have to. I presume you have engineering data that shows this is the case for the Wilson bridge replacement? -- ***************************************************** * Aaron M.
