Streetsblog SF: Not a Surprise: 101 Freeway Widening Shows Negative Results. Induced demand quickly wipes out $600M express lane widening.
Streetsblog readers will recall that the SMCTA gave itself an environmental award for this project, despite the fact that - as was easily predicted - it did nothing to decrease congestion and actually increased pollution by inducing more people to drive. As Swire points out, it's exactly the opposite of what the region is supposed to be pursing now to achieve its emissions goals

such ridicule in place.
