More on the logistics of freeway construction

The Taylor article in Hanson/Giuliano has an excellent summary of how the SoCal freeway system went from narrow, low-speed roads like the Arroyo Seco Parkway and the original San Bernardino Freeway to swollen monstrosities like the Santa Monica and San Diego Freeways. I'll add that to the Planning/Construction section at some point, but not anytime soon. --Slightlyslack 22:17, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Public Purpose source

I would really question using the Public Purpose Web site as a source, as people often claim the author of it, Wendell Cox is biased. Jason McHuff 06:13, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

I-40 Extension

Any source base on the extension to Golden State Freeway.

I remove the I-40 specualtions long time ago. Interstate-Guide.com, Kurumi, AARoads, News chatting, state highway page, none of those is reliable source. Anything is not on documentray go through FHWA page is seen as false law or sideral speculations. And also on future streets don't put the streets not likely to be built. The SCH code is usually adopt highways, and usually left after 1958, and 1964 legislation. Those is only suggestion of street, but they don't need to be built.--Freewayguy (Meet) 02:11, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Diversion of Funds to Transit in the 1970's?

The comment regarding the diversion of funds in the 1970's to transit appears to be editorial commentary from questionable sources. There was no diversion of money from highways to transit during this period. Freeway costs rose significantly outstripping gasoline taxes in the 1970's. Community opposition to the costs of acquring property for such things as the Pacific Coast Freeway, and Beverly Hills Freeway killed these projects. There was no significnat investment in any new transit projects duting the period of the 1970's except the I-10 Busway which was a freeway actually a lane mile addition, it is an HOV lane shared with autos. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.164.65.142 (talk) 14:55, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Good work!

Whichever GM employee sanitized this article of mentions of the conspiracy deserves a bonus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8801:DF00:C4:1836:5AEB:DB7F:81DA (talk) 05:44, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
