Fifth string,
This like many other issues results in "not in my back yard".
Nobody wants the loop or the new road by their property. But they complain the loudest about traffic.
A good friend of mine owns a motel/room rental place on the coast. She said some of the truest words of wisdom when it came to coastal erosion. She said, "if everybody that came down here to do a damn study would have brought a 5 gallon bucket of rocks, we could have built back every island that's been lost."
Study time is over. Politics time is over. It's been known for 30 years or more "what" the problems are and what the solutions are. It's time for action and time to look at the big picture and take politics out of the solution.

I don't think the loop issue is similar. The loop issue is that everyone around BR wants it in their backyard and refuse to support any plan that doesn't maximize their personal benefit.
