General Road and Highway Discussion

[danbrotherston]

Reconstruction of Highland Road from Fischer Hallman to Ira Neeldes has finally begun, with the focus being Westforest -> Ira Needles this year and next, followed by the rest. It seems the contractors are giving priority to getting the multi-use trail on the north side complete first. Likely a good idea with the new towers at the corner and the lack of pedestrian infrastructure in that stretch.

Yeah, I'm guessing that priority might be as a result of the vehicular manslaughter that occurred here...

I still don't think they have made an arrest or charged anyone...just another road fatality in our region.

Of course, the fact we are entirely unnecessarily (even by the regional engineers admission, the road does not have the traffic to justify 4 lanes...they feel it might in 20-30 years) widening yet another road in the middle of a budgetary crisis in the middle of a climate emergency.
