Widening I94

I admit… I’ve been waffling lately on whether Wisconsin should widen I94 between the Illinois border and Milwaukee. 

On the one hand, it will be necessary eventually and is the primary commercial route into Wisconsin. 

On the other hand, the traffic load doesn’t yet justify the expansion.

On the third hand, it’s better to expand before the traffic peaks to prevent disruption.

On the fourth hand, the state is in a budget crunch and there are other projects that seem more pressing (Zoo interchange, maintenance, etc.) 

Thoughts?
