Why doesn't DOT do more to promote commuting by bicycle to help the traffic situation around the Iway project and the rest of the state? Bicycles are a perfectly good way to avoid the high cost of fuel, promote physical fitness and alleviate traffic jams. Every bicycle on the road is one less car polluting the air and clogging the roads.

As someone that reverse commutes from Providence to Warwick, I have seen a big difference coming home on 95N in the evenings in terms of less delays around 195E. So thank you for that.

But I do feel for my 95 South brethren. In hindsight, would it have been wiser to just wait until the I way project was completed to open it up rather than piecemeal? Or would that be too chaotic?

Will the new entrance that is opening today enter into the two lanes of the Iway ramp? If yes, doesn't that just move the backup to the Iway? Also, why was the Iway reduced to just one lane this morning?
