"The entire Collins Road NE widening project, which has been years in the making and could take up to another five to 20 years to complete, will incorporate the city’s “complete streets” policy into the construction. That means a road that will accommodate not just motorists, but pedestrians and bicyclists.

A third of a mile of busy Collins Road NE by Lindale Mall is set for two years of construction beginning this spring as part of a $15.4 million project that will widen the section to six lanes and raise it up to 13 feet.

At the same time, a section of Lindale Drive NE will drop 6 feet to extend under the elevated Collins Road — giving motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists a new access from the north side of the highway to Lindale Mall on the south side.

The road-raising phase also will include new pedestrian features at the main Collins Road entrance to Lindale Mall and to the entrance road at the Collins Crossing center across the street. Those will include a pedestrian underpass at the Collins Crossing entrance."

I drove that stretch of road every day for many years.... this project is long overdue. But I must say that I am glad I no longer live there as this project is going to be very disruptive for traffic. I suspect Blairs Ferry Road is going to feel the brunt of the overflow.
