Editor,

Why are there fewer bad streets and road conditions in Mexico than El Camino Real in Burlingame and San Mateo?

Biden's large Infrastructure package was used in many other states to fix the roads, the bridges, the ports, the infrastructure which was crumbling.

CalTrans and California used that money to keep building or expanding miles and miles of highways instead. At the same time our politicians kept complaining that they have no money to fix the roads and bridges or public transit California has already.

So if El Camino Real has potholes all along the Peninsula, or Samtrans claims to have no money, or San Mateo county claims they can't afford ped/bike crossings you just have to look at the Lexus Lanes on 101 to understand where David Canepa, Rico E. Medina and the Papan sisters wanted that infrastructure money being spent. MTC, SMCTA and C/CAG are the main organizations that keep messing up our public transit systems and our local infrastructure investments.

Hello, Steve

I agree.

I have logged more than 50,000 miles worth of cross-country motorcycle rides between the coasts... California's roads are the worst. Yes, you can find some road deterioration in some states that experience extreme winters, but those roads get repaired. Maybe we don't pay enough in taxes...
