.while I am all supportive of coordinating transport and land use planning, that was far from the state of practice when I395 was built. Once again, I think you are setting the bar too high - at that time, the more common approach would have been to build I395 as wide as it was, AND to build it all conventional lanes.

No doubt, that was the mindset at the time.

However, I don't think I'm setting the bar too high - it's not like HOV lanes on 395 are some magical planning success. They represent a marginal increase in capacity, a marginal shift away from the standard auto-centric transportation and land use planning of the era.

Some of the Metro development in the DC region - now that's noteworthy.
