The morning paper says there is little enthusiasm for widening I-10. I think the responses here on this thread show otherwise.


The issue is that Washington exit is politically untouchable. Widening needs to happen, but it needs to be there.

when I get stuck in traffic I see blacks, whites, Asians, men, and women right alongside my car.

Every neighborhood in town doesn't need an entrance an off ramp.

Close Washington Street, and the Perkins Road exit ramps and upgrade Dalrymple and Acadian Thwy.

You don't need so many exits/entrances that close together.

People constantly say this, but it seems like such a cop out.

Who is the constituency to whom this is an "untouchable" idea? It seems completely asinine. Anyone can exit at Nicholson or Dalrymple and travel on the surface streetsto the area of the Washington exit in two minutes or less at any time of day.
