Why is infrastructure so hard to get done at federal level? Big disappointment.

Instead we get retarded commissions studying P3 and other gay shit (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3953946&forum_id=2#35875155) |

Date: April 19th, 2018 1:52 PM Author: indigo gaping infrastructure is flame. take for example your rural bridges. yeah we could pay 30 million to fix a bridge in kansas. but maybe 100 people cross it a day. it does nothing to solve the issues that "infrastructure spending" is supposed to fix, like increased efficiency or opening up new ways to trade or whatever fantasy bullshit is concocted. its a huge waste of money that just sounds good, like how education spending is always the answer.

"The new bridge, with a $18.1 million price tag, features a hard concrete deck instead of a steal grate, wider shoulders, and a bike and walking path on the east side. It’s expected to last 75 to 100 years.
...
At the time, funds were limited, so the bridge didn’t become a major public concern until 2015. A series of weight-limit reductions left the maximum weight at 9 tons, limiting its use to passenger vehicles.
That sparked an outcry in the rural area, where farmers with large machinery and Kaw Valley USD 321 relied on the bridge for easy access north to Rossville or south to Interstate 70, Buhler said. Driving east to Topeka or west to Maple Hill added 10 to 20 minutes to most people’s drive. Nearly 4,000 cars cross the bridge daily, according to estimates Buhler has cited."
$18.1 million to save 4000 drivers a day 10 to 20 minutes. |

Date: April 19th, 2018 1:58 PM Author: zombie-like bawdyhouse It is much harder to get infrastructure done in the U.S. due to structural issues. It is harder to get ROW access, go through the environmental approvals process, and deal with competing stakeholders and inevitable lawsuits.
We should be spending more on high-priority infrastructure improvements and introducing autonomous and next-generation transportation systems (e.g. managed lanes for autonomous vehicles, Denver's hyperloop-light project). |
