I'm all for it.

the bridge is in desperate need of areas where vehicles can pull over, as well as improved safety rails along the southbound span.

proposed improvements include improved railing and safety bays for vehicles to move off to the side during accidents.

If the Causeway Commission were more transparent about their contracting activities, I might be for it.

As it stands now, it is a boondoggle for a select few.

Their budget is ridiculous for what they do; way too many people and vehicles.

I know a few people that refuse to drive it because there isn't a place to pull over if your shite breaks down.

I guarantee there will be more accidents and more people killed if they build that shoulder.

The last thing you want is a shoulder on that bridge for people to pull over and park. The texters and the drunks on the bridge will be plowing in to those stopped vehicles.

Causeway commission are a bunch of dim wits looking for a money grab.

After watching the videos of the cars going over the rails on the news last night, I think this is a long overdue proposal. The bridge needs to be safer.
