Austin's first "sustainable" roadway?!

KXAN headline:  "Austin’s first ‘sustainable’ road project under way"

Our own Tim Starry, in the comments section, took the words right out of my mouth:  " 'sustainable' road....now I've heard everything".

Preach it, Old Guy!  I watched the clip and it just made me sick.  The word the clown was looking for was 'transpiration', but never mind that.  Enough with the damn greenwashing.  They built that Parmer road from I35 to 290 without a shoulder.  Then, a couple of years ago, for some reason, the redid it all.  They STILL didn't add a shoulder. 

But yeah, it's 'sustainable' and STUPID blondes on the news just repeat the lies.

I hate this car culture.
