I think an east west freeway north of I-10 is something that will never happen. It is too late. The city on the other hand can use other methods to speed up traffic such as sections of parkways/expressways, grade separated intersections and maybe one of the most promising possibilities in a city ruled by traffic lights is the ever increasing advances in "smart roads". Traffic controls working with traffic flow as opposed to sitting at a red light to watch nobody go through, digital signage directing and recommending routes based on current conditions. A traditional freeway going east west in the area north of I-10 and south of the Catalinas will never happen. The great thing is there are so many alternatives we can use to gain the same result.
