As I drove around the South and West metro on my Friday off on 15 June 2007 the traffic was unbelievable. Congestion all over and some times only moved at 20mph on these "Freeways". This is during the day when there should not be issues. I look at the lines of vehicles and think all the CO2 we are putting into our air.
The problem is there has not been the foresight to build a transportation system for mass transit.
As I get back to Bloomington I think of all the new buildings going up that are not even occupied. City fathers and mothers just think about the dollars and don't care what they will leave for future generations except a bunch of buildings. They think in 2030 the transportation system will be ok. Very very sad.
Some of the buidlings.

The stem of all the ytraffic is the city council. I work in Eagan and bike basically everywhere in my free time. Massive amounts of land is being lost to development. Its incredibly out of control. And whos to blame? City councils. They are evil, egregious and they need to have less incentive to build. More public input.
