But now, Tom Corbett's Transportation Funding Advisory Commission appears to have put the issue back in play, and local sprawl boosters are giddy. In a Morning Call opinion piece, Mr. Davis wrote: Within the [Commission's] report are comments that have put the widening of Route 22 to six lanes between the 15th Street and Airport Road exits back in play.
