We want a BIG bridge, not an Ergonomic one!

Well, the King's court, known more commonly as Metro has decided to give a reluctant nod for the new Bridge with some major scaling down from 12 lanes to 6 lanes for their fear of, (God forbid) more growth, more jobs, a stronger economy. They fear pollution and want us all out of our cars, riding our bicycles with the bottle of water and goofy looking helmet. OK, listen dammit, this is OUR money and we want twelve lanes, in fact, we would like to have sixteen but we'll settle for twelve. We're tired of congestion, we're tired of you people bottle-necking every main artery to frustrate drivers to force them out of their cars in the name of saving a tree or some plant that maybe a tenth of one percent knows or even cares about. We have allot of people we need to move around. We're not interested in riding a train that mainly ferries winos and teenagers around and smells like urine where it's average speed is 19 mph. Thanks for your input Metro, but we'll take a real bridge, not some bike bridge that you would rather build.
