I had nothing to do with this project, although I had a lot to do with the improvements in San Berdo Co. to 58, which are slowly piecing this into the I-40 extension that should have been built all the way to Paso Robles and San Jose when originally planned in the early 1960's, but wasn't.
And no, it has nothing whatsoever to do with trains. But like our lack of sufficient investments in needed rail passenger infrastructure, it is another excellent example of the costs to all of us of doing almost nothing to improve our travel options, and adding another 5 years of population growth and development, without providing sufficient new freeway capacity........
