THat is why you would do an interchange instead of ramps, not to mention if they fixed themessed up onramp at California in the process that would make a difference & less traffic using he rosedale ramp since the Centennial Corridor would be the great fix lol.

Chris, can you imagine having the Hwy. 58 on and off ramps, the California Ave. ramps, and the 24th Street ramps, which are all within 2 1/4 miles of each other, and adding another series of ramps for Truxtun? That would be really stupid and cause quit the traffic nightmare. I suggest you let the traffic engineers decide what is the best and most cost effective route, and you stick to your day job.

Option C would take out less businesses & homes combined, should have had an option D that would just put an interchange on Truxtun & then run that to the new freeway.

Why they chose option B is explained in the many news reports, so I don't need to explain it to you.

I found the map & it looks like they are opting for option B, why not go with the option along Oak to Truxtun & avoid taking out homes & that many businesses?

Chris, there are maps of the new freeway route all over the place. And to get to Rosedale and Calloway, the driver will have to exit the freeway and go north on Calloway for about 1 mile. And someone who is looking to buy a house real cheap, and doesn't mind the freeway, can probably get a really good buy. Especially if they can only rent now.

From 58 & Chester to Calloway & Rosedale as the crow flies is about is a little over 4 miles, that isn't taking into account the roadway doesn't follow this line would like to see the actual route on a map. Also alot more than 431 residences & businesses will be impacted due to their property values dropping like a rock with a freeway running thru their neighborhood.

Chris, if a motorist gets on 58 at Chester Ave, it should take them about 5 minutes until they reach the Calloway exit. And of course the route is bound to upset some people. It's called progress.

SO how is it going to only take 5 minutes from Chester to Callaway? is tis Centennial corridor going fom chester to callaway, because I can tell ya the surface steets are going to add alot of time to that. On the otherhand, at least 431 people could cause quite alot of hate and discontent with the stealing of your property so some dummy that bought out in the sticks can get to work a few minutes faster.
