The editorial on the languishing inaction of a new bridge/bypass for Interstate 5 (“It’s too soon to answer this I-5 Bridge question,” In Our View, June 14), had great comments. The truth hurts and the delays are unbelievable. So many intelligent people running in circles unable to effectively accomplish much at all and definitely not in my lifetime.
We can go to the moon and back, and create AI algorithms to solve a multitude of complex problems but not a bistate transportation project many decades in the making. No wonder Forbes and others rank the area “poor” in transportation solutions to existing problems. Why do things always have to be done in a crisis mode versus thought out and executed efficiently? It is as stated/implied — a pathetic exercise in futility. We never learn.
