South Arterial Meeting Tonight

Tonight is the final public meeting on the corridor alignment. I am not able to attend, but if any of you do and want to share your thoughts, please feel free to leave your comments here.

When: 7:00pm tonight
Where: Missouri room at the Civic Center

Quick facts about the Arterial (taken from the GF Tribune):

The South Arterial is expected to feature:

* A four-lane road with limited access, including turn lanes at key intersections. East of 13th Street South, the road might narrow to two lanes.

* At-grade intersections at Fox Farm Road, Upper River Road, 13th Street South, and 26th Street South.

* Use of Gibson Flats Road alignment east of 13th Street South.

* A new Interstate 15 interchange south of the airport exit on its west end.

* A connection to 57th Street South on the east end.

* A phased implementation, with an initial segment from Fox Farm Road to 13th Street South that is estimated to cost more than $80 million in 2017.

I didn't know trucks on tenth were such a crisis we need to spend 2 or 3 hundred million in taxpayer money condemning peoples houses and ruining some peoples property values in order to benefit a few insiders.

wait a minute, this sounds familiar.

It may be too late in the game for this idea. It should have been started (at least buying right-a-ways) many years ago. Now the only choice is to continue to widen and improve tenth with some of that money.......
