What happened to our big ideas? In 1979, the Eisenhower Tunnel was completed. The federal and state government had blasted through the mighty Rocky Mountains with a four-lane highway to complete America’s interstate system.

Here’s the answer to Erika’s question. I suggest looking in the mirror next time.
Also, look at the cost overruns of RTD’s Fasttracks and California’s high speed rail.
