Rooftop Highway

Another pet peeve. The Rooftop highway. They've been talking about a 4 lane highway running from Watertown to Plattsburgh since the 60's. Now, several more millions of dollars have been allocated by the Federal Gov't to 'study' the issue some more. A rooftop highway running from the western edge of NY to Bangor Maine isn't a bad idea. I don't think it needs to be a 4 lane highway, a 2 lane, wide shouldered, limited access highway would be just as useful. While building the highway they could also lay a high speed fiber optic communication system which the North country badly needs. Maybe if they built it, people would come an use it. But damn! It's time to stop spending millions of dollars 'studying' the issue and decide something.
