It depends on what you mean by "nothing" and "solve".
In the
long term, there will always be
rush hour traffic on I35. Agree 100%. That's the case for every large city in the world.
The I35 work however has the potential to add congestion-free lanes for buses. So for some people, the "solution" may be to not participate in the traffic.
And in the short term, added capacity can still provide economic benefit. As well as benefits in the non-rush hour time periods (helping to keep non rush hour free flowing as the city continues to grow).
I'm taking no stance as to whether this is the best use of our money. But it's certainly not "nothing".
