A venting has been needed for some time now…

With the fact that the new connector freeway/roadway going through the middle of many homes clear across Bakersfield, Ca. looks as if it could be driven on, sits with no traffic…???
Many thousands of gallons of fuel are wasted everyday because the traffic is so backed up on all the roads leading into, & out of town… WHY??? Is the new freeway not open, at least to where it ends, as far as pavement goes???

I think if I were building that new freeway, I would have started it where it is supposed to end, in town, and as it was built, a complete new section at a time, to where the off and on ramps are located, I would have opened each new section, as it went along, so that traffic can not only get used to using it, that would also lighten up some of the traffic going into & out of town, ya think? Everyday it sits empty, it costs the Taxpayers tons of MONEY!!! In wasted time and fuel costs… Someone has their head in their butt, it seems.

I would have thought that was the main reason for building that new section of connector freeway in the first place, to speed up, and ease the flow of traffic??? & save some (of us) MIGHTY EXPENSIVE fuel costs!

What seems to be the hold up???
