Oh, I forgot: > "making freeways wider does not reduce congestion". VTA is already busy doing just that. Unfortunately, they're only widening it to 3 lanes per side (even though most of 880 -- from Oakland to Alvarado- Niles Rd. -- is already 4 lanes per side, and there is already unfilled demand for 5 or 6). So this widening will not solve the problem, and will have to be repeated. John (San Jose native, exiled by housing prices in 1997)
