General Suburban Updates and Rumours

The point is that they want to make a street connection to the north, whether they name it Parkside, or continue Conrad Pl further south to meet with Parkside bending west (which feels like a ridiculous choice; you'd think they would just rename that bit between Weber and Parkside something new).

FWIW streets ending at roads with no connection is almost the norm in the Netherlands and is a big part of why the roads and streets work so well. Of course, they're always open for pedestrians and cyclists, but cars must drive around.

(Of course it also helps that dead ends here don't have to end in a giant circle, the expectation here is that drivers are able to turn their cars around using a 3 point turn in the rare case they end up in a dead end.)
