Alert | | So after all these lights are in place, is it really considered to be a highway? Most highways I know don't have stoplights, the have on ramps, off ramps, and no interruptions in between. I think that it should now be called SR 347 Blvd. | | | |

Alert | | isn't it terrible. It's like Grand Ave all over again. You think they would learn how to keep traffic flowing, but no instead it gets harder and longer to get to work. Wait until they completly screw up MCG Hwy. | |

Sweet, so when can we expect all of the strip clubs that Grand Ave has? | | | |

Alert | | It's only a matter of time until ADOT will reach an agreement with the GRIC for additional right-of-way and then will spend millions to expand the 347 to 3 lanes in each direction. It is my hope that enough right-of-way can be obtained to facilitate overpasses with entrance/exit ramps at Casa Blanca, Rinker, Riggs and Maricopa Rd. Otherwise, expanding to 6 lanes will just result in 6 lanes of traffic backed-up at each intersection instead of 4. | | | |

How long is "a matter of time?" I bet if this ever happens at all, it will be at least 5 years and then take another 5 to complete the project. Hopefully I'm wrong, but the way the state government moves, this isn't happening anytime soon. | |

Alert | | I don't know how long the expansion project will take, but unless ADOT also replaces the stoplights with overpasses, expanding to 6 lanes will accomplish nothing. I know I did a lousy job of it, but that's the point I was trying to make. <img src='http://www.85239.com/desktopmodules/ntforums/images/emoticons/smile.gif' height='20' width='20' border='0' title='Smile' align='absmiddle'> | | | |

Alert | They should have them all be green North and south for around 10 mins... and then give side traffic 2 mins all at once....
That would help flow.

Just doing it one day at a time. Change is good and it should be looked upon as an improvment! not a problem.
