A critic argues the Highway Bureau lacks democracy and practicality, contrasting state efforts with the people’s experience. The piece notes most trunk lines were built by the State Highway Commission, with some aging sections undergoing concrete modernization rather to advance grand designs. The commission’s current focus is described as replacing worn oil-treated links rather than pursuing bold, coordinated trunk roads.
