Looks like a Fairway Rd. project was proposed, that includes the usual problems, on road cycle lanes on a busy 4 lane arterial, MUTs with no consideration for crossing, high speed, traffic focused roundabouts.
Gotta have an overbuilt fairway connect to an overbuilt river road too... what a waste of money, that stretch of fairway has few intersections and turn lanes can handle all the traffic, there aren't many (if any) driveways, it's the perfect spot to build off-road cycle tracks and sidewalks, there's enough room to build a highway so that's all they wanna do. effing dumb.
Also down that way, they could sign another cycling route that goes down Idlecreek and Daimler for people that don't want to climb the big hill on Fairway. Following all the little creeks usually makes for less hills.
