brian0123 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I enjoyed the videos of all the cars driving through smog. I also like that this idea was dreamed up decades ago when we didn't know what we know today about traffic, pollution, urban growth, mass transit, etc. This video shows that the Grand Parkway is an antiquated and old solution, being pushed by good ole boys, and that it tackles a 21st century problem with ideas from the 20th. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fringe Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Brought tears to my eyes. Seriously, I will be happy when they finish the over-passes in segment D. Still takes a long time to get from 59 to 10. I can't wait to drive down segment E just to see what the heck is out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trae Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Too bad there isn't a rail station at 99 and 10. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bite me!I'm just glad our early city planners had the foresight to conceive such a plan and stick with it. The roadway should have been completed years ago, however they should have kept to the original concept with parkways and open landscapes along the way, not just a tollway for the commuter traffic.
