From my observations, it's true. Lots of nice bright new lane lines and zebra stripes all over the place.

I would have liked to see money spent on old bridges and other critical infrastructure, but I don't think that would have made it through the political process. The excuse for throwing money around was the stimulation, which meant it had to be fast.

We just recently got new oil, chips, and stripes down the road we travel most. Oh, and rumble strips down the whole center of the road.

Bridges are huge concern - but lack of clean drinking water due to infrastructure failure should really get people's attention. Cholera, typhoid, dysentary, giardia, cryptospoidium, fasciolopsiasis, botulism, e.coli, legionellosis, gastroenteritis, hep A, campylobacterosis etc etc... Welcome back to the 1800's.
