[Vision2020] Fwd: Re: Additional Shipments Planned on Highway 12

[Sam Scripter]

Re: Paul R's remarks . . .

Paul:

If each "megaload" could be "sliced and diced" to one-third of the whole 
width
and one-sixth of total length [off the wall fractions, and very absurd], 
then
there would be 18 pieces, maybe each on a truck, per megaload. If 200 loads
are waiting, that's 3600 or so individual, one-truck loads.

Use your own numbers for slicing and dicing. What do you get?

Who wants all of that traffic? No solution.
