Who's Who of living mystic hired-guns. Unfortunately, I learned from the Examiner that nothing significant is about to happen in the ITS field or in any other field of human endeavor except in the personal lives of entertainment celebrities. Not satisfied with making this brilliant contribution to prophesy, I continued my research and my practice of intuitive adaptive reuse. Of course, some of the most valuable information for 1997 ITS predictions comes via the internet from the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. However, later in the year, the same intrepid researchers will find that good two-way arterial signal progression is impossible in perpendicular universes with unevenly spaced intersections.
Parking is a pain in perpendicular universes, too.
I was beginning to feel that I might have a talent for the seer game. As I continued to ponder the future, I recalled that Steven Hawking had once speculated that when the universe ceases to expand and begins to contract, time will reverse and we will live life backward. According to Dave Davis, much more psychic research and a much faster computer will be needed at his house before he can discover the specific ITS question to which 42 is the answer. It includes language that would clarify and expand eligibility of ITS infrastructure capital, operating and maintenance costs as part of the National Highway System, Infrastructure Safety Program and Surface Transportation Program funding categories. It also proposes an ITS Deployment Incentives Program which would pay up to 50 percent of the non-federal matching cost of certain ITS projects.
