Whatever they do, I hope they make allowances for pedestrians, bicyclists, and moped riders. A moped may easily get 110 miles per gallon, and is a very viable form of transportation. And, yes, you will get rained on sometimes, but as a motorcycle rider that rode year round in the pacific northwest, I found ways to deal with it, down to 20 degrees.
That was one of the good things about the highway here before the construction project. Generous shoulders for these purposes. Taking one 25 mpg car off the highway, and subbing in one 120 mpg moped on the shoulder, lessons in lane traffic.

LOL at pedestrians and bicyclists should not be allowed along state highways. Give them no lane, the punishment for disobedience is death. That is humanitarian but nuking HPP is not, for lack of a better word, good.

There is no way your going to restripe the lanes and still alway for bicycle or moped access. That would be death of that transportation.
I think there should be bike lanes / sidewalks and more street lights, but highly doubtful it will happen. Actually I'm surprised anything is happening. Maybe the new mayor can weigh in on this? Hopefuly, they can figure out a better plan than trying to make 4 lanes out of the break down lanes. I guess, when your car does break down, you can shove it off the road into a nearby driveway!

Nuking HPP would invariably mean any drivers, cyclists or pedestrians using H-130 at the time or in the aftermath would likely face a rather nasty and slow death. I'm sure there are better and more humanitarian options.

TomK - That's funny! Are we not already experiencing another version of a nasty and slow death just by traveling the current highway? [

Exactly! This way, when your car comes to a stop, it's on "private property" and your breakdown is no longer part of the Official Statistics, resulting in an improved safety rating for the entire County!

How about: seal off all HPP roads where they meet 130. HPP is so proud of their roads ("that they paid for"), they should have no problem creating some kind of Alternate Route.

How many cyclists or pedestrians actually use highway 130 for actual transportation? Not counting recreation or those headed to a bus stop. Maybe a few dozen tops, but by all means keep tilting at those windmills Ted.
