| Politicians will take credit for the Tunnel |
| Politicians are crooks |
We have protested in large numbers that fail to be counted, written letters, spoken out in every possible way, and what we get is whatever the crooks want. The tunnel is the exception that proves the rule, but I really think that the powers that be either figured how a tunnel could work to their advantage or it wasn't very important to them either way.
| Got any of that environmentally friendly rabbit stew? |
My take on it is this: If one gets a fabulous grant of money to fund the weapon and the ammunition for you to shoot yourself in the foot, it still doesn't make shooting yourself in the foot a good idea.
I have nothing but admiration for City Council member Sue Digre, and from watching the lineup at that council meeting, I expect it has cost her. I will make time to walk precincts for her next election."

Stone was in the ribbon-cutting photo but I hear it was really Nihart who's responsible for that tunnel being built. Yup.
Waaa.....Waaa.....Waaa.....
Poor NOBIES. Nobody wants to listen to their "let's keep Pacifica poor" baloney anymore.
I heard it was Pete!
Wrong.
Vreeland did it. Everything good in Pacifica is his doing.
Everything bad in Pacifica is Cal Hinton's fault.
If you need proof just ask Jimmy. He'll set you straight.
Should this guy be held for observation? Is he going to shoot his toes off? He's obviously shooting his mouth off. And, what the hell is he saying?
I'd love to ask Jimmy!
The hippies and noobes are all puffy chested now that the tunnel is open. Wait till the town files bankruptcy. They will run and hide.
The tunnel is like having a gastric
bypass, and being constipated. All that "traffic" has to go somewhere. If we don't fix the highway, why did we spend half a billion dollars putting a tunnel in? I fail to see the logic.
Today around 12:45PM traffic was horrible from Sharp Park to Linda Mar. I told the teller at First National Bank that it took me about 40 minutes to get there. People were driving so crazy that they were making U turn in the middle of the road from south to north.
It is too bad that when they voted to built the tunnel they should have done something to highway 1. We are going to deal with worst traffic than before. What is the second alternative if they don't make up their mind now?
We are living in a very irresponsible environment of people creating more problems instead of solutions.
If you look at the history of how that tunnel came about, it really is a victory for the enviros, hippies, nobees, whatever you want to call them. They took on Caltrans over the bypass that was to be built and they won. No bypass and instead we have a $434 million dollar tunnel. Of course the big winners are the motorists who now have a safer road to go about their business.
I give the tunnel a month before we have the first big accident. A head on!
In the tunnel? How's that work?
9:20. I don't think you've seen the tunnels or understand how they are built. It's hard to imagine how you could even get into the tunnels going the wrong way. You'd know well in advance that you'd crossed over into the oncoming lane, if that's even possible.
Anonymous, sorry I deleted your "disincorporate Pacifica" comment in error, so you may want to restate. Not sure if this is the article where you posted that comment.
The error has periodically occurred in moderation from my smart phone only. Its a scrolling problem. I'm planning to change to a tablet to correct (that should do it). Again sorry, try again.

Never underestimate the stupidity of the American Public.

Yeah, I almost posted about this when I drove thru last Tues. The southern entrance is really, really dangerous as it's currently set up.
Hopefully this gets adjusted, but it's a really narrow and sharp curve. I can easily see a car crossing the center lane into oncoming traffic. Happened often enough on Devil's Slide and will probably happen here.
Be careful and stay safe out there, everyone.
$434 million to build it and it's got dangerous design flaws? Say it isn't so! Maybe the magic number was $500 million? Caltrans, spend as much as you need on highway 1 and just do it right.
The tunnel ittself isn't dangerous, it's the temporary striping/barricades in place that merge you back into the original roadway on the south end.
It's easily to correct and I hope they do so soon (if they haven't already).
Well, ok then Fogel, good to know.
Fix the problems and keep it under $500 million haha.
