ahh.. But if i remember correctly, you didn't WANT people going through San Francisco...it was an illogical place for a through freeway... that's why you were telling us the Golden Gate
Bridge was for locals only.

Maybe now you see the value of a through freeway through San Francisco.  Then you could do you 280 to 85 trip much easier.   Motorists in your instance would have a choice... 280 or 880...
and that would distribute the load better
