I encourage all residents of Memphis, Shelby County, and the entire region to think in terms of road projects and transit projects which enhance the regional economy and strengthen the core city, and NOT projects which continue to subsidize an automobile-dependent economy, and encourage development ever further away. To say nothing of air pollution and CO2 emission impacts.
I also ask, what happens if gasoline prices double or triple?
