In Traffic, on LSD

I was stopped at a light when I took this on Lake Shore Drive. Some of the best views in the city, though, are to be had driving along there. This is not one of them, but hey, I was driving the car. So here's some news, the U.S. Secretary of Transportation Mary Peters has a new blog, and visited the Windy City the other day:

...the city has been chosen to receive a $153.1 million Congestion Reduction Grant that will cut traffic, improve transit, and reduce pollution. Under the terms of the agreement, USDOT will help fund four new bus rapid transit routes along heavily congested corridors in downtown Chicago, and the City will implement a high-tech, variable pricing system for all on-street parking to reduce congestion associated with circling cars and underpriced parking.

You can make comments, if you like. Constructive, please.
