Foreseeable gridlock

Enough already! Stop with the grandiose multimillion-dollar schemes. There’s no money available now and none in the foreseeable future. So, what’s possible? Do the unpopular — endorse the traffic laws already on the books. Will Miami voters be upset? Tough. Will local politicians become unelectable? Maybe. Is a change of leadership a good thing? You betcha.

I have a long list of current traffic laws that are ignored, unenforced and dismissed in court. This must be changed, or one morning gridlock on I-95 will prevent you from getting to work.
