The editorial page looks at delays and cost over-runs on the I-405 Sepulveda Pass Improvements Project and says there’s plenty of blame to spread around. The Times says that the foremost reason is the design-build process that while expediting the time it takes to deliver the project, left too little time to actually plan it before shovels were in the ground. That’s a fair enough point and, as the editorial states, Metro is already allowing more design time on the Crenshaw/LAX Line to avoid similar issues.
