Highway expansions are relics of the 20th century. Install a high capacity, afforable, and reliable transit alternative parallel to I-5. Place variable rate congestion pricing on *all existing lanes* to generate capital and operating revnue for both the highway and new transit operations. Ramp-up parking availability at transit access points and include both car-share facilities and van-share at the parking facilities.
Reduce congestion by getting people out of their cars, not by creating more room for more cars.
