Local Reddit-legend @SoDakZak popped this pic on the interwebs recently. It’s a look at the road-work schedule for the next 5 years around town. Yeah, that might seem like a ways off, but big projects need a lot planning, and a lot of coordination between the city, counties, and state. Not to mention funding, which comes from multiple sources (including federal) with multiple strings attached.
Here’s a link to the embiggened version so you can zoom in.
But it’s good news overall. Everyone one knows we’ve got some wonky interchanges and inadequate roads in this town. We don’t (and maybe never will) have a decent east-west artery, and the intersections connecting 229 to most everything were squeezed in when we had half the traffic. Eventually, they’ll get it figured out. And maybe by then we can start biking and walking and taking a little public transit too. You know, like they do in real cities.
