AASHTO, publishers of the "Green Book" [[the cookbook used by highway engineers) acknowledged the existence of induced demand back in 1957. Stated another way, MDOT engineers are ignoring the governing body of their own profession.

Again, you are misusing induced demand to just blanket oppose anything car-oriented, then conveniently ignoring your perception of induced demand for any other mode of transit.
