Some of them had a valid point, we should have been going under the basin right from the start.

Also, their proposal for a second Terrace tunnel would still have left us with only two lanes for cars, which isn't enough for the traffic we have now, let alone thirty years in the future. And I know people will say everyone will take the bus or ride, but they just won't.
