Thanks Gil -
What a lot of bloggers don't seem to understand is that there are a lot of procedures that have to take place that are mandated by law, and each procedure has a required timeline. Once the funding, the EIS, etc. are completed and the ball is in the court of the State DOT, then there are all the procurement requirements and other issues before the shovel hits the dirt. Yes, it all takes time, but the alternative to not following process can be chaos - and chaos on our highways can be dangerous and is not where we want to go.
