Without more revenue generated from taxes, this will not get better.
instead of hiking up gas prices...do you believe that legalization and taxing of rec. marijuana would be a logical decision at this point by the state?

That would be another revenue stream for taxes, sure. And since I'm not really into government I don't know if those revenues could be used for infrastructure, but I can't see why they couldn't.

If the revenue from recreational marijuana would go solely into infrastructure and it would account for the estimated yearly revenues needed from the gas tax, then sure...I'd get behind that.

But, I can almost guarantee there are more people using gasoline in the state than there are people using recreational marijuana. Why not both, tho?
