It's good to see that there are varying opinions regarding Hiawatha. For the longest time after the "new" road opened, I was under the impression that the general contractor for the project had somehow gotten ahold of the wrong set of plans, and had erroneously re-worked the road and turned it into an extension of 35WS. /jk
If I lived in the immediate area of Hiawatha, I would not be pleased with the end product, if only from an appearance standpoint. The truth of the matter (regarding speed limits) is that people now travel 50mph in a 35mph zone. To increase the speed limit further would, in my opnion, be absurd.
