May the Flyers be the receivers of great victory in this series and that Sid "The Kid" Crosby waits like every other player to earn his victory.

J_Treehorn: Extending I-376 For All the Wrong Reasons

As I'm not sure how these blog things work, I'll type anyway.
While I have to agree with the points made above, I still have to raise my hand in support of the 376 extension. While I understand the history of the whole 79/279 switcheroo thing, I think that when they decided to switch I-79 to where it is now, they should have just extended 376 along the whole Penn-Lincoln Parkway then (at least to 79).
Put simply, it is a contiguous highway from Monroeville to New Castle. While there are many route numbers switch roads; the clusterf*ck of numbers for a unified road is pretty ridiculous. I do agree with your comments about the "Interstate Fairy" and "related" econmic stimulus... This just strikes me as something that makes sense to do (or should've been done long ago)
Ironicly, since the FUTURE 376 signs are already up, and the politicians have said the "future" to be 2009, I'm willing to bet that the interchange with Rt. 60 & 22-30 won't see a meaningful upgrade/reconfiguration for many years after that.
