It’s About Time

Wisconsin is finally going to join the 21st Century/get off it’s ass and do something to help economic development.
Plans to expand 35 miles of I-94 from six lanes to eight between Milwaukee and Illinois moved closer to final approval Friday with a report that declared the project would comply with federal environmental laws.
Naturally, the ankle biters are opposed. Here’s one that’s especially moronic coming from, naturally, the ACLU.
[...]“They (those opposed to the expansion) also argued that the project would violate civil rights laws by pouring more money into road construction and depriving minorities and low-income residents of public transportation options.
“One can’t look at this without finding a pattern of discrimination against disfavored groups and communities in our society,” said Dennis Grzezinski, an attorney working with the ACLU.” [...]
Sigh.

I love the idea of expanding 94 to the state line, and I agree that the ACLU is just looking for something to cry about in this. What I’m not thrilled about is the plan to cut off access to 27th St at the Mitchell Interchange, which is one bone of contention in this whole thing.
