My ideas would be to give incentives:

To businesses who start using different hours. Like 7am to 4pm or 6am to 3pm (just throwing things out there)

Also, give incentives to businesses who work four 10 hour days and either take Monday or Friday off. Or any day they want.


How does this do anything other than make tax payers on the hook for a incentives that do nothing to solve the problem?

Studies have proven that we are past the point of adding more interstate lanes and loops to even help. So why go that route?

It takes too long to build. Population grows plus anytime something is improved (supply) demand increases.

I am not saying I have all the answers but to say building loops and roads will save us is silly. We are too far behind at this point. Those things should have been done years ago when population was not growing so fast.

Taxpayers are on the hook for any traffic solution so not sure what your point is. Roads and Infrastructure are extremely expensive and take forever to build and always go over budget and over time.
