An Example of Legacy Challenges

Breezewood, Pennsylvania, to me, is a classic example of what happens when too many stakeholders are too wedded to the status quo at the expense of the greater good.

The New York Times recently published an article summarizing the history of the Breezewood interchange and the challenges around connecting I-70 / I-76.

My suspicion is that the weird little bottleneck of Breezewood, PA will be there for the rest of my lifetime.

I’m OK with that.
