No new car-pool lanes
Re "On the road alone in L.A." (June 14):
Your front-page story in Thursday's paper clearly illustrates the sheer folly of continuing to build car-pool lanes. I have said for many years car-pool lanes have never done what they were intended to do in Southern California. Your article supports this view.Robert Kunz
The original intent was good. It was to encourage drivers to double up, removing many cars from the freeway. It has never happened. And now we have a master plan to widen the 405, seizing by eminent domain some 31 properties in the process. I say this is madness. I agree we obviously need to do something about gridlock, especially on the 405. However, another car-pool lane is not the answer.
