They aren't putting overpasses over the rail crossings, which I think they should have done.

Why bother expanding lanes when you're just going to block them up with train traffic? Seriously, what is it with this city and its aversion to overpasses on major thoroughfares?

Florida Blvd should really be a freeway between Airline and Denham. It wouldn't be that hard to do, and it would really help with traffic. I don't see the point of having those service roads disconnect the retail properties from the highway unless there is a freeway.

That would require thinking ahead and using traffic to promote growth instead of following growth decades later with traffic expansions which end up being about a decade behind what's needed once finished. Both city planning and at least the regional aspect of state DOTD have shown they would rather do the latter than the former.
