Resolution to Engineer Smart Traffic Solutions

Engineer Smart Traffic Solutions

Whereas the City of Austin is experiencing a population boom that is putting strain on existing roadway infrastructure; and

Whereas the high cost of living within the City is forcing a greater number of commuters on the roads; and

Whereas mass transit solutions designed to move people by train are expensive to manage, operate at a loss, and are environmentally unfriendly; and

Whereas 95% of Austin-area commuters drive a vehicle to and from work every day,

"Therefore, we resolve that the City pursue smart traffic solutions, like additional highway lanes, a completed SH 45 loop, and a re-engineered bus route system that increases bus availability for the neighborhoods that need them most."

Well consider anything that does not involve anohter tollway or another train car.

I'm a conservative but disagree. Transit did pay for itself before the 1930's; it was government takeovers of the transit industry and lobbying by the automobile industry that made transit unprofitable.
Austin needs more transit, not more highways. If a developer wants more roads for his development on the outskirts well dog gone it he has to pay for them himself - no guns to the heads of taxpayers giving him a handout!! Meanwhile, inner city Austin should get denser. I should be able to sell my land with a bungalow in Enfield for big bucks to someone to build two or three homes on. And if traffic gets heavier as a consequence, well, that's what transit's for.
I think everything - roads, transit trains, buses, etc. - should all be funded privately, without the taxpayers being obligated to subsidize any of it. God said: take what you want and PAY FOR IT.
