traffic: The Price of Progress

Northern Johnson County, Indiana, is one of the fastest growing areas in Central Indiana. It has great school systems, an educated workforce, wonderful neighborhoods, an awesome trail system, Parks and Recreation, a thriving Arts community, and is family friendly. All of the above means more families moving into the Greenwood/Center Grove area and that means, of course, MORE TRAFFIC. And so, one of the major North/South arteries is being widened. Now don't get me wrong, SR 135 needs to be widened in the 5 mile stretch or so that is being worked on. Unfortuntely, I use this route multiple times a day (6 comments)

The City of Greenwood has now decided that it would be to limit access and to route traffic on the busy SR 135 corridor to service roads whenever possible. Well, duh! Currently, one can exit and enter this major north/south artery via multiple access points: side streets, traffic signals, driveways, fast food drive throughs, etc. Yes, there are some turn lanes but not nearly enough. And yes, there are some sevice roads, but again, not nearly enough. Now Greenwood, Indiana does not nearly have the traffic congestion of L.A., D.C., NYC, Chicago, or even the north side of Indianapolis. But during rush (1 comments)
