[–] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 child) OMG, I love this man! That video is 7 years old... Did they add more lanes? 🫣 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BreadstickNinja@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago The project actually still hasn't started due to ongoing litigation and budget constraints. It did get redesigned with more bike infrastructure and pedestrian bridges to cross the freeway, but local bike and pro-transit groups still oppose the project. One of the main arguments is that the state's proposal is not consistent with the city's regional plan, which says that the interstate can only be expanded if congestion pricing is also implemented to discourage additional traffic. At this point, the state is planning to fix up some bridges while the rest of the legal fight plays out. Expansion probably won't start until 2028 in any case... at which point this song will be an "oldie." permalink fedilink source parent
