I just disagree with when you are saying these things are needed. Why is that "development" is the trigger. Why cant we actually use traffic as a trigger. I continue to scream about the waste of land, money, function and safety that 123's widening has been. I see it EVERY DAY, and EVERY DAY it flows free, completely free. In most cases people disregard the rarely posted speed of 35 and go 55 on it. The only traffic on 123 is OUTSIDE of tysons in McLean and Vienna where the bottle neck from going 8lanes to 4 lanes is causing more trouble than good.

The only other time 123 is any issue is when 495 is backed up into the spill lane, and people are trying to cut in line from 2 lanes over, something that can be solved by simply putting up a barricade.

This is proof of what bad decisions look like when you build something because of what is anticipated, instead of what is actually occurring. Traffic doesnt just magically turn bad in 1 day, if its starting to get bad, and funds are available THAT is when the corrections can be made.
