I agree.
I would have done it for much less!

I drove from Wilkinsburg to Irwin on Rte 30 yesterday, now that is one road that could use serious synchronization.

I know it seems crazy... I guess the local politicos have to get their share under the table like everywhere else.

Ditchdigger, the reason that you haven't noticed yet is because they just started the study now. The article said it was going to take a few years before it's complete.

Thanks. (My facetious statement above notwithstanding), I'm a little slow on the uptake sometimes, but I'd hate to think I missed 13 mil worth of improvement.

To address the original question, I drive 65 all the way in from Rochester to Pittsburgh frequently, and the lights are still less annoying than spending half an hour on Greentree Hill.

Ain't that the truth. At rush hours there's no way I would choose to go over to 376 to get into downtown from Rochester. Now, on weekends or other off times, 376 might be faster than 65.
