As bad as 95 and the Merritt are, consider how bad traffic would be if they didn't exist and all we had was Rt 1 with it's hundreds of intersections and traffic lights. Would you say that 95 and the Merritt justify the capital investment? Now consider upgrading rail in order to ease the congestion on those roads.

This discussion is pointless. You can say you think it’s worth the cost and I can say I don’t think it’s worth the cost forever.

The discussion is pointless because the project is doubtlessly DIA regardless of its worthiness.
