The fundamental flaw in this whole thing, IMHO, is that there is no easy way into North Blvd, their preferred east-west thoroughfare, from most directions.

If they had cut that through to Rebel Drive when the property opened up, that would have worked. But putting BRCC right there made traffic worse by adding more cars and cutting down ways to go west that don’t involve Government.

I take North from work downtown to my house in capital heights without issue. What I do have a problem with is the city telling drivers to use North when the road conditions are horrible. The stretch between Acadian and South Foster is full of shock-stressing buckles and potholes.

If they had cut Jefferson through that neighborhood next to the old Fleur De Lis and arced West snd aligned Jefferson with N Blvd. they would have done some good.
