Nice cheap shot Keith! The reason there is an exit ramp to 28th street is to relieve congestion on Lake Street that the new ramps bring, it also keeps the delivery truck traffic off of Lake Street. All the immigrant business owners I know of support this project because the folks who would be using 35th-36th street ramps will be on Lake. It's quite a simple equation really, more customers means more business, or the equally successful equation capital begets capital. Sounds to me like you may be suffering from a case of infrastructure investment envy, just a guess.

It is reasonable to assume that, this government funded "urban avoidance ramp" , could offer a real Mexican drive thru on the 'turn' from perceived South Suburban Serenity to Inner Urban Sanctuary, at Wells Fargo and Abbott Northwestern. What better way to mollify those Hispanics down below; and living under the bridge. Displaced for suburban convenience; let them pass food to whizzing suburban motorists, up above. "One Pork Enchilada at the turn please..." Flyover-35W should be stopped. Keith Reitman NearNorth PS- I wish some folks would look more closely at BRT foibles on Lowry North. I could use an Amen, here. TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1. Don't feed the troll! Ignore obvious flame-bait. 2.
