And that's our traffic problem in a nutshell - not in my backyard. How are we going to deal with this? No offense to our neighbors in Summit-Hill but that traffic has to go somewhere and because government rolled over as part of this settlement that means Snelling, Ayd Mill road (Selby), Lexington and W 7th get this spill over freeway traffic because those cars are NOT going away, they are just going somewhere else. While I personally think trucks on 35E would be bad and raising the speed limit probably pointless at this point [45MPH in rush hour? Don't you wish?], I believe the settlement also prohibited a direct east-bound 94 to south bound 35E connection and therefore something in excessive of 25,000 cars wander through the W. 7th and Lexington areas to connect. Someone correct me if I remember the settlement terms incorrectly or the car count wrong. Doesn't $3.99 gasoline sound like a good idea?
