I lived in Pineville when they began 485. We used to go fly kites up on the graded areas on weekends. We noted that it looked as though it was only being built four lanes wide and thought whoever made that decision must be the dumbest group of planners Charlotte could have possibly found. And I was right! It was too crowded from the first day it opened.

Great article and all true. I was an urban planner for a short time and can absolutely tell you the ONLY way to improve mobility is to invest in public transportation and build dense, multi-modal developments around the stations.
