Should we start a Project Proposal List for the Donald Trump Govt?

The US Infrastructure Upgrade is the next piece of the Donald Trump Govt's economic agenda.

Should we start a Master list of proposals to give input to the much needed US infrastructure upgrade. This is an important Portfolio of Projects if US is to lead the world and maintain superiority over the Emerging economic blocs.

With Donald Trump's preference of Private sector effort over the Public sector inefficiencies, do you think it is going to be a worthwhile effort to try to influence this part of the political agenda.

Having lived in the Bay Area and the rural Midwest, i have two proposals.

1. Traffick Gridlock alleviation in the Bay Area.
2. Provision of Broadband Internet to Rural America.

These two proposals are something that everyone who lives in these two geographies may have felt a need for.

Give in your proposals and we can create a Master list of proposals.

It would better to lobby your State representatives, that is the usual process to get things done. But a list of worthy projects sounds helpful. Shouldn't a major focus be on roads, bridges and airports?

Roads, Bridges and Airports are all good. That ties in well with my #1 proposal specific to the Bay Area.

Bridging the Urban Rural Divide through broadband will tie in with Donald Trumps Constituency and ameliorate the economic inequality.

Look in the history.

Private sector is good to a point, no rule is open exageration.

If I recall correctly LA public transportation was purchase an close by car maker about a century ago. It is true that private service is often more efficient. That can be a long discussion.

How to alleviate gridlock?
Broadband to rural area would be finance how? private? public?

Interesting subject

So the US infrastructure revamp plan has been announced by the US Govt. with Projects estimated at more than 1 Trillion being planned.
This seems to be a very good time for people having a Construction Management bent to their PM backgrounds.

Should keep a lot of PM's busy for 10 + years. Goodluck and God speed.

Hyperloop project link between sparsely populated Central California and the job center of Silicon valley, with the intent to spread the wealth and population of Silicon valley to the economically unequal Central California.

Looks like Elon Musk is catching on the ideas I proposed in Feb, albeit his proposal is revolving around the traffic gridlock in SoCal, maybe the next iteration should be between Central California and SiliconValley/NorCal.
