Public Transportation Equals Jobs

Abandon the I-526 extension support. This project is too expensive vs. the good it supposedly will do. Instead, support the expansion of public transportation that will provide long-term, well paying jobs, that provide a needed service to everyone. This would include expanded bus service and light rail. To reduce traffic congestion let’s work on getting cars off the street and people on buses and trains rather than new roads. We can’t even maintain the roads we have now. Gas prices won’t remain low very long and when they go up, short-term thinking will have commuters complaining about the need for more public transportation. Let’s plan it now so we don’t have to overspend later.
