Yes, except in rural areas that lack existing infrastructure

 @9NPXKX8 from Massachusetts  answered…1yr1Y

Yes but only until the structure is deemed broken beyond repair by State authorities and has to be replaced by something new.

 @9PVYPJQ from Massachusetts  answered…12mos12MO

Yes, until the structure is deemed broken beyond repair after a thorough inspection by state officials.

 @9NQL5VP from Pennsylvania  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, unless existing roads and infrastructure are too old and new infrastructure is deemed more suitable to support growth.

New infrastructure that prioritizes alternative forms of transportation to cars should be considered rather than repair. New car centric infrastructure should be limited.

  @B4YKFQR from Massachusetts  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, but only until the infrastructure is deemed broken beyond repair after a thorough inspection by state officials.

 @9T8WV9J from Washington  answered…10mos10MO

i think the priority for maintenance and repair of existing roads and bridges should be as equal as building new infrastructure, as long as the building is actually needed.

 @9SGS2K2 from Kansas  answered…10mos10MO

Yes, if the current infrastructure would meet our current needs when fixed. If the infrastructure really needs to be replaced, then replace it.

Investigators Face Stunning Mystery In Midair Catastrophe

A shocking mid-air collision occurred between a commercial airliner and what appears to be a military/government Blackhawk helicopter in the Washington D.C.CNN aviation correspondent and private pilot Pete Munteen said this is extremely rare and concerning such an incident is in modern aviation.Commercial aircraft are equipped with TCAS (Traffic Collision Avoidance System) specifically designed to prevent such collisions.TCAS actively instructs pilots on vertical maneuvers to avoid other aircraft through climb or descent commands.The system was implemented as a direct response to previous mid-air collisions involving commercial aircraft.The incident represents what aviation experts call "holes in the Swiss cheese" - multiple safety failures aligning simultaneously.Commercial pilots undergo extensive training and operate with sophisticated technology, making this event particularly concerning.The Blackhawk helicopter involved suggests military or government involvement, as it's exclusively used by these entities.The aviation expert expressing shock underscores the extraordinary nature of this incident.A major investigation will be required to understand how multiple safety systems and protocols failed simultaneously."This would be an incredible lining up of the holes in the Swiss cheese, the -- the which is the saying in aviation, the gaps in the -- in the safety chain in aviation, that this happened and now investigators have an incredible amount of work cut out for them to figure out how a commercial airliner in the United States in 2025, when the pilots are incredibly trained, the technology is is incredibly sharp, collided with what is apparently a military or government helicopter. Nobody else uses the blackhawk. Yeah, it is -- it is really something else. I -- I -- I'm just stunned."
