The stated maximum capacity of the Elontunnel is sufficiently low that it would have had minimal, if any, positive effect on congestion and smog.

It’s a test tunnel, you would get the improvement when more are made.

Sorry, no, I was referring to the capacity of the finished tunnel, which isn't meaningful better.

I believe LA had an explosion with fatalities years ago while digging a tunnel. There are also issues with subsidence in the area (sink holes).

It’s not just you and the cancellation isn’t about environmental impact, it’s abojt NIMBYism.

Perhaps even more ironically, those who live by an transit area would expect to see their home values increase due to desire to live near mass transit in big cities (see SF, NYC)
