I am reminded of the meeting in Skagway we had with Andy Hughes from DOT, who dutifully took down questions and promised answers that never came. And there was a woman there he threw under the bus because she had no idea what was going on and was some sort of transportation planner. He said about people on POW that it was customary to hitchhike into town and that was an acceptable part of a transportation plan. I hope he's retired.
Most of the roads planned are bamboozles where hands have been shaken and checks or cash passed hands.
Don't give DOT the power.
