I can't see this doing anything other than creating even more traffic along College from the interstate to Highland unless a major thoroughfare is put through it that links Highland, Perkins, Burbank & maybe even up to Corporate (and an interstate on/off ramp would be NICE).


That major thoroughfare would be 4 laning Lee Drive but since all of you complaining about traffic fight this tooth and nail you have to complain about something. I don't think anyone in Southdowns has the right to complain about traffic.

I'm no Spinosa fan but if anyone thinks Rouzan won't help the overall area with if nothing more, a nice residential area they are in denial. Like a small lot or not the houses are very upscale and larger than most houses in Southdowns.

I liked Whitters pasture back in the 60's and 70's. I like Town Center in the 2010's. We grow people.

Good point. I keep forgetting about that. Lee and College is a total cluster frick because they would shite themselves before 4 laning Lee.

Woooooooah there, Nelly. Don't point this at me. I'm all for 4-laning Lee. Hell, I would love to see Highland 4-laned from campus to Lee (and I live in a neighborhood along that corridor) as well but that will never happen due to the same reason Lee will probably never be 4-laned.

As I said in that post, unless Rouzan includes a rather nice connection between Perkins & Highland, I don't see how Rouzan (with a hundred or so extra families) helps traffic on College as the majority of that either disperses on Perkins, flows south on Lee or north toward the Interstate, Corporate and beyond (thus my mention of a Highland/Perkins/Corporate connector). Without at least a Perkins/Highland connector, just tossing Rouzan in there is going to only add to traffic problems.
