The Chicago area is a huge metropolitan area. Public transportation does a great job of transporting us in and around the Loop. The city of Chicago is much more than the Loop which we need to recognize. We need an energy-efficient interstate system and traffic-flow management plan that recognizes this fact.
The interstate system for the Chicago area was designed more than 50 years ago and because of limited lane capacity is frequently congested.
