EastsideHBG notes that people use it as a cut-through to avoid traffic elsewhere. That will surely increase after this project. I just wish more officials understood that and designed projects with goals other than maximizing traffic flow as the top priority.

I don't understand any of this. That stretch of road is very run down. The actual road itself is godawful. Any sort of rehab and attention will be a welcomed change. Any property owners on this stretch probably have a lot more to be concerned about regarding value then this road.
