World's Best Canyon Road that Goes Absolutely No Place: Rates 0 on our 5 scale

 

Been a long tome since you've seen a sign posted: "Your tax dollars at work," huh?

 

It's been what? Some twenty-five years, that San Gabriel Canyon Road has been severed, from Angeles Crest Hwy? What an awesome canyon road San Gabriel Canyon was, when it connected to Angeles Crest Hwy.

 

Our lazy politicians get low marks. What is wrong with those people? That bridge should have been repaired, 20 years ago. What the hell have our politicians been doing, all this time? Hopelessly subverted, by well organized special interest groups, our policy community just isn't getting the job done, here, in Metropolitan Los Angeles.

 

Profound geological conundrums notwithstanding, we sure wish they'd fix that bridge... Not much point driving San Gabriel Canyon Road, if it doesn't go anyplace. You'll have to turn around, go back the way you came! Seriously considering use of this road for driving events is asinine, unless it's connected to something. Turning around 30 sports cars at the terminal end, then coming back down the way we came isn't our idea of a serious drive. Sad...

 

Historically, motorcycle contingents used to do a loop, ascending Angeles Crest, descending San Gabriel. Bridge in perennial disrepair pins all those guys, way up, deep in the Angeles National Forest, with only one southbound egress... Ideal for Ponch & John.

 

No San Gabriel Canyon junction, at Angeles Crest Scenic Bi-Way, motorcyclists have to travel further than they would, otherwise, the entire length of Angeles Crest Scenic Biway, all the way to Cajon Junction.

 

Predictably, way too many amature sport bike guys fatigue, and wind up going down. We need to fix that bridge...

 

Population is 20 million people, here, in Metropolitan Los Angeles. Much of it, spilling over, into the Antelope Valley, by the mid 21st Century, demographers estimate Los Angeles Metro will swell, to 50 million. We need a bond issue, posthaste, to fix that bridge, on San Gabriel Canyon, to alleviate pressure on Angeles Crest Highway, to allow Palmdale commuters, traveling Angeles Forest Highway, daily, asscess to their jobs, in East Los Angeles Metro, via San Gabriel Canyon Road...

 

San Gabriel Valley residents need a pressure release valve, to the north. They've needed that, for the last two decades.

 

It's not a question of if; it's a question of when. We needed a bond issue, to fix that bridge, on San Gabriel Canyon Road, five years ago. It's been nearly 25 years. Time to get our greedy, self-absorbed politicians up, off their lazy asses, and fix that God damned bridge.

 

America boasts the finest civil engineers in the world... You going to try to tell me, they can't fix that bridge?

 

Let's say we end this terrorism charade, stop pissing away all that money, trying to win popularity contests, in the Middle East. Time to put our civil engineers back to work, spend all that money stupid conservatives squandered, on Whitewater witch hunts, and popularity contests in the Middle East, instead on health, education, welfare, and public works... Time we start preparing for the 21st Century. Don't you think?
