 I still can't get over the massive curves that would be installed in the proposed re-do would slow down traffic on northbound I-45 South even more, as part of the reason for Pierce's congestion is that people naturally want to slow down for curves (this is also why five-stacks get locked up around rush hour, which isn't entirely a bad idea...flying off an ~80 foot ramp at 70 MPH will be the ride of your life).

This is just the nature of the inner city freeway beast. You're going to have curves.....the trick is to keep the curves loose enough to where traffic doesn't have to slow down TOO much. It's part that, and partly on the drivers themselves. If people just slow down a little further back before the curve instead of slowing down a lot at the last minute, congestion wouldn't be so bad. You know where the curve is and at what speed you should take it and those facts never change......so just start slowing down sooner. With less congestion you'll actually get to where you need to go quicker.

But there's always that 1 and that's what Vegas bets on.

It would be a sight to see, but I really don't think so. They have New England, Oakland, Green Bay and Denver to contend with.

That picture makes it look like the architectural equivalent of pinhead. I like it though because I like that type of retro look. They shouldn't change it.

You cannot make buildings that are 35 years old look new unless you totally re-do the exterior. The best you can do is maintain it well.....especially if you want units to sell for a quarter to 1.5 million dollars.

Change is a good thing. And the center field distance change doesn't bother me.....it was for bragging rights only. I don't know about you guys but I can't see a 19 foot difference from any vantage point in the park.
