The whole Highland/burbank corridor is a mess. There should be a way to get from Highland to Burbank other than a couple major arteries.


I'm confused.

Burbank runs into Highland.
Then you have Gardere.
Then you have Staring.
Then you have Lee.
Then you have a couple right outside the south gates.

How many roads do you need to connect these two?

Gardere should be "downsized". Staring should connect to Gardere via a new road that cuts through the pasture there at the end of Staring through a route which brings it to Gardere near the sewer treatment plan. Widen this and connect it to an improved Gardere that continues on to the casino.

The other "downsized" part of Gardere would get just local traffic.

Kenilworth should connect to Burbank too. So should the exit there at College Town subdivision where the traffic light is.

Burbank


Is set up to be a great southern intra-city loop but SERIOUSLY needs an extension out to 928/Bluff Road to bridge the transportation gulf between South BR and Prairieville. This would pull a goodly bit of traffic off of the part of Highland that runs from Siegen to the interstate.
