About Us
We started this web site for the same reason that you are most likely viewing it. We were FRUSTRATED sitting in traffic in the same place every day, not because of an accident or because of proximity to uptown but because of POOR PLANNING.
If you're a 485'er... Unless you plan on moving or quiting your job your 485 commute is only going to get much worse unless we can somehow rally as a group and force the state to take notice.
The intent of this site is to provide a centralized framework for people to come together with ideas and suggestions and to make more noise than any individual, even a politician can do on their own, perhaps the site could generate some additional press in the paper or on one of the news channels which could lend itself to creating a grass roots movement and and perhaps force DOT to get creative in order to avoid further scrutiny on their mess of an orgainization.
Flooding the roadways with 485sucks bumperstickers might be a way to spread the word and at least serve as a catalyst or a starting point to bring about change..
