Reply to comment by EfficiencySuch6361 in Some residents protest president's plan to rebuild aging B&P Tunnel in Baltimore by SpaghettiOsPolicy

That’s a part of every major infrastructure project. Soil boring tests, resonant impacts, etc will be required, just as they are for every other project of a similar scope. Also, these tunnel boring machines may be “scary” but they are used in cities around the world every day. Baltimore is no different than Philly, a city that has recently completed a similar project.

And except going over budget and way beyond the schedule, it went well.

Oh, I wasn’t being sarcastic. I lived in Seattle when the tunnel was being dug. It was a cool project.

The one about no testing being done? The protester likely would have no way to know what, if any testing has taken place.

They could contact their councilperson or delegates who likely can share the info with them.

So their concerns are unfounded but also they would have no way of even verifying. Got it 🙄

There is an entire FEIS and ROD with specific answers to their concerns, they just don't believe the data and think it's made up. More tests confirming the prior data they already refuse to believe won't change their minds.

It sure would be nice if the news article would elaborate a bit more instead of just letting such a comment be made without any context
