The Mass Pike should be narrowed! But MassDOT is insisting they need to design for 20% more cars than are there today, and that could cost the project hundreds of millions of dollars.

@sky If they don't design for more cars then, according to their model, there will be more cars on the road than can physically fit on the road.

@crzwdjk @sky On the current schedule, by the time they finish there'll be at least one fewer car on the road because I'll be retired by then.
