Ok—What’s dumb about these type articles to me is that their assessment is essentially all qualitative. “Too expensive and won’t actually affect traffic.” Is the boiled down theme.

But this project had to undergo multiple Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) which included detailed traffic analyses by experts—Which concluded it would. Having worked on EISs—I tend to trust the individuals who model the traffic conditions for a living over the journalist shooting for extra clicks with a grabby title about how it won’t work based on their back of the envelope calcs.
