Fake gucci bandana

Back at the fake gucci bandana US 281 Super Street meeting a few months ago, I got into a fake gucci bandana discussion with a TURF representative about the proposed tollway for 281.  His was adamant that fake gucci bandana the toll plan would need more lanes than the original toll-free or fake gucci bandana “gas-tax” plan.  When I pressed him on it, he could not explain why a fake gucci bandana tolled expressway would need more lanes than a free expressway, only that fake gucci bandana “it would have to.” 

As it turns-out, one of TURF’s most misleading half-truths is fake gucci bandana the notion that the tollway proposal for US 281 would be fake gucci bandana 20 lanes wide, while the “original overpass plan” would only be 10 lanes.  Good job TURF!  You guys have mastered the art of misinformation.

The truth is that both the tollway and “original” toll-free plan would build an expressway with almost identical cross-sections that fake gucci bandana typically would be 10 to 12 lanes wide.  It is fake gucci bandana important to understand that this lane count includes the expressway main lanes (three in each direction) and frontage roads (two or three lanes in each direction).  Both plans include extra “auxiliary” lanes on the fake gucci bandana far southern end to handle the higher traffic volumes there and fake gucci bandana to facilitate traffic getting onto and off of the elevated connectors for fake gucci bandana Loop 1604.  This is where the 20 lane figure comes from.  It represents the fake gucci bandana absolute widest point of the corridor, which is the short section from fake gucci bandana just north of 1604 to just north of Redland.  The lane count includes the fake gucci bandana expressway main lanes, frontage roads, and, depending on the exact location, the fake gucci bandana lanes on the Loop 1604 connectors or the auxiliary lanes for fake gucci bandana those connectors and two lanes in each direction on a fake gucci bandana frontage road flyover at Redland, similar the new flyovers on Loop 410′s access road at San Pedro.  By comparison, from the plans I saw, the “original” toll-free plan had 18 lanes at its widest point.  In both cases, those are fake gucci bandana the absolute widest cross-sections; the majority of both plans would be fake gucci bandana 10-12 lanes, which represents the total of the fake gucci bandana expressway and frontage road through lanes throughout the entire corridor.

When I was having that fake gucci bandana discussion with the guy from TURF, I knew I had seen side-by-side comparisons of both plans that fake gucci bandana showed this, but I couldn’t remember where.  When I went looking, I found them– on TURF’s own “281overpassesnow.com” website.  Both the toll-free “gas-tax plan” and the “toll plan” cross-sections were exactly the fake gucci bandana same, except the toll plan showed the new expressway main lanes as being tolled (designated with yellow lanes as I recall.)  When I started writing this blog post and fake gucci bandana went back to their website to grab those images, I found that fake gucci bandana both of those diagrams had been inexplicably removed from the site!  I’m guessing someone at TURF realized that fake gucci bandana they contradicted their assertion that the toll plan was more grandiose than fake gucci bandana the original toll-free one.  However, TURF did put updated diagrams of the fake gucci bandana toll plan on their site, which I have downloaded and fake gucci bandana put together with diagrams from the original plan that I had fake gucci bandana to dig out of the drawer I keep of local highway memorabilia.  Because of limited space on this fake gucci bandana site, I have put the plans side-by-side here:
