"We need congestion to get people to ride transit"
The New York Times reviews a debate over a proposed toll road in Colorado. Opponents can't argue that it will be subsidized as the tolls will pay for it. So they resort to more esoteric arguments.
"The worst thing we can do is widen the highway," says state Representative Gary Lindstrom. "We need to keep the congestion so people will be interested in the transit." The upcoming election will reveal if Coloradans agree that congestion is a good thing, as Lindstrom is running for governor.
