One-way frontage road concept
Thank you to everyone who participated in this survey
The comments were used to help develop the two-way frontage road concept, which is now available for review. We would appreciate your feedback on the changes we made.
Following listening sessions with stakeholders and property owners in 2022, the project team developed a one-way frontage road concept.
This option shifted the existing Center Dr./Co. Rd. 11 entrance ramp connection to southbound Hwy 52 further to the south. The elongated ramp would have acted as a one-way frontage road from the existing Co. Rd. 11 to roughly the location of the existing frontage road access to southbound Hwy 52, and then as a traditional entrance ramp to the south. This option would have removed two local direct accesses to southbound Hwy 52.
The survey closed in January 2023. Thank you to everyone who shared their feedback.
Here are some of the comments we heard:
- 47 survey responses
- 22 responses supported safer access to the homes and businesses
- 11 noted that a two-way frontage road to connect back to Co. Rd. 11 would be an improvement
- 18 responses indicated opposition to changes to the existing ramp
- Opposition included changes to the existing free-right and entrance ramp, additional distance on a frontage road, and perceived limited benefit to a few at high cost to others
Through our discussions with the local property owners, we heard a desire for a two-way concept to resolve the current situation of needing to go south on Hwy 52 from the driveways and then turn around at the next interchange to go back north to Pine Island.
