“The fact is this kind of monumental endeavor must take place in a deliberate, thoughtful manner. As with interstates during the 1950s, we have neither drawn every single route on the map nor reached final agreements on every single financing arrangement.

This is hard work.”
~Ray LaHood, U.S. Secretary of the department of transportation
