Hey all you fiscal conservatives - how is the expense justified?  These millions are going towards only two miles of highway, in which there have been two fatalities in the last twenty years. And neither of these was due to road conditions.

The idea of a safer road is a sound one, but why can't we use readily available data to identify problem areas and address them in a fiscally appropriate manner?

For the record, I don't really care about the quarries.  But only someone that didn't read the article could argue that this will save lives.  Or, I guess, someone that thinks they'll be hired for the project.
