A study by the Buckeye Institute concludes that urban sprawl is not a serious problem for Ohio and building more highway lanes is an appropriate response to traffic congestion.
"Urban sprawl is not a serious problem in Ohio and traffic congestion can be better addressed with new highway lanes than with a light- rail line...While the report said public policy should give people choices in housing types and locations, it does not push for transportation choices...Rather than build light-rail lines, the report said, local policy-makers should encourage workers and employers to change their schedules to avoid congestion at rush hours."
