[edit] More on the logistics of freeway construction

The Taylor article in Hanson/Giuliano has an excellent summary of how the SoCal freeway system went from narrow, low-speed roads like the Arroyo Seco Parkway and the original San Bernardino Freeway to swollen monstrosities like the Santa Monica and San Diego Freeways. I'll add that to the Planning/Construction section at some point, but not anytime soon. --Slightlyslack 22:17, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed

Since when is most of the growth in socal from undocumented migrants? California, and Socal especially, has always been a popular destination for people looking to escape East Coast weather, and it still is.

[edit] I-40 Extension

Any source base on the extension to Golden State Freeway.

I remove the I-40 specualtions long time ago. Interstate-Guide.com, Kurumi, AARoads, News chatting, state highway page, none of those is reliable source. Anything is not on documentray go through FHWA page is seen as false law or sideral speculations. And also on future streets don't put the streets not likely to be built. The SCH code is usually adopt highways, and usually left after 1958, and 1964 legislation. Those is only suggestion of street, but they don't need to be built.--Freewayguy (Meet) 02:11, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Public Purpose source

I would really question using the Public Purpose Web site as a source, as people often claim the author of it, Wendell Cox is biased. Jason McHuff 06:13, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Laurel Canyon Freeway

I am proposing eliminating the Laurel Canyon Freeway article. Go to the discussion page there if you want to comment. Thank you very much. GeorgeLouis (talk) 02:41, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
