Is a tunnel the way out of this mess?
Re “Waxman Rethinks Tunneling Ban,” Nov. 29
I am pleased that Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-Los Angeles) is now rethinking a move he made 20 years ago that has resulted in absolute west-east gridlock on the Westside of Los Angeles. Often it is virtually impossible to traverse from Santa Monica to the east side of the 405 Freeway, resulting in missed social and business events as we sit in our vehicles with no alternative route.
The Wilshire corridor is a vital transportation link to so many cultural, educational and business venues that we as an urban area must provide reasonable and reliable access if we are to become a livable city of the 21st century.
