The tunnel

I found this article rather interesting.  Could it have been that maybe McSchwinn was right about the big tunnel?  Remember that in the upcoming mayoral election please.  Our original toll forecast, from the people ramming this project down our throats, has now been downgraded more than 50 percent.  This is going to cost someone a lot of money.  Probably me, come to think of it.  Remind me again how much of the bicycle master plan is unfunded at this point?  Why is it that traffic forecasts concerning auto use are always this optimistic?  And why is it always the opposite concerning bicycles?
