Interesting! What does the city have planned for Canal? That stretch of road definitely needs work, and not just because its crumbling. Its a jumbled and confusing mess, especially the intersection of Canal and Harrison which constantly confuses everyone driving through it with underpass under 290 and the 'frontage roads' style on/off ramps to 290, plus the old access drive on the east side of that stretch of Canal creating a no man's land along the entire west side of the OPO. I assume the city and developers want to make the now fenced off Canal frontage more inviting/embracing the street, with the opportunity for street fronting retail?
