8664: Decreasing traffic volumes call ORBP plan further into question.

For years, members and affiliates of the 1Si/GLI/Bridges Coalition/Tolling Authority cabal have been attempting to scare the bejeezus out of citizens with dreadful predictions of the region grinding to a halt if their unpopular pet project isn't fully implemented, costs be damned. Those claims, however, have been and still are based on out of date, inaccurate demographic and traffic projections easily disproved with real, on the ground data.

Thanks to 8664 for compiling a list of actual traffic counts for our interstates near Spaghetti Junction. It's alarming that we can't count on those who are supposed to be representing the public as appointed officials to share such information, but I'm glad someone is.
