Where's the Outrage?

Many advocates for mass transit have noted that as much as anti-rail and anti-bus people like to complain about the cost of mass transit, there is a definite lack of outrage at misuse of road funds.

I give you Exhibit #1, the grossly oversized intersection of Airline Road and Spring Street in Mt. Pleasant.  Be sure to zoom in to see that the Westbound Spring Street has two left turns into southbound Airline Road, which immediately narrows to one lane and then ends into a quiet residential area served by what can only be described as country roads.  There is nothing in the area to justify this oversized intersection.  I'm sure there are many more examples-send 'em to me.

Where's the fiscal conservatism and the outrage on this?
