I am very pleased to see the discussion making attempts at alternatives to 
four lane mentality.
To me one way or another in the not to distant future we will be forced to 
change from our present forms of transit...I can not foresee the long range 
use of the tractor trailer set up to move mass freight along side light 
weight forms of personal transit...the physics will always be against the 
smaller mass.
It could be that a four lane now could just amount to a total waist in 20-30 
years.
Im for realignment and wider shoulders..In Canada the drive from Creston to 
Prince Rupert is pleasant and efficient.Thats about 800 miles.
I kind of suspect that our model for our four lane roads do not accommodate 
bicycles as well as the Canadian two laners.

There may be another reality to debate with regard to a freeway from Canada 
to Boise...are there not two Sovereign Nations that highway 95 presently 
passes through...The Nez Perce and the Coeur d' Alene...?
I wonder what they think.
The set in the movie Smoke Signals would sure as heck never be the same.
