Let me give you an example of inept leadership . We need new roads . I have a fairly easy solution . It won't fix all our traffic problems but it's not intended to. I want to extend Van Gilder to North Willey street . Google it if you don't know what I'm talking about . This simple solution through old WVU farm land with no buildings in the path would pay big dividends . When the students are in town Stewart Street , Falling Run Road , The Loop , Campus Drive , and U Ave and Beechurst Ave becomes a parking lot from 3 to 6 pm Mon to Fri . And on Fri , N. Willey backs up to Darst Ave trying to get past the roundabout . This new road would be a quick way to by-pass all that traffic ! But I can't get 1 local official to endorse the idea . INEPT
I think a development was approved for that exact area. So again, because of a severe lack of planning and willy nilly development we fall further behind.
Doesn't matter though, it would just be another road that becomes a parking lot at the expense of losing green space. Especially if you're using it to get on the mileground, you'll be sitting there waiting to merge anyway.
The only way to alleviate the issue, at this point, is it to build the proposed VFW CA tower and the Standard which will bring people downtown and take cars off the road

Unfortunately the Standard is now officially dead so who knows what happens next there, I'm betting WVu will do something with it, but of course that will then trigger those certain groups in town to scream about it.
As far as I know, in a couple years falling run road will no longer connect into university and will instead turn at Vandalia hall and connect into Stewartstown.

Good idea. It's sad when officials don't think ahead. It's really getting ridiculous.
The Homeland Security spokesman was on the radio next day stating that was a perfect example of the traffic gridlock here and there would be no way to move people in this town during an emergency. That is terrifying.
Roads should be a priority. Then alternate routes such as this example could be utilized, while others are shut down, etc. We don't even have berms for disabled vehicles to pull over! This is my only complaint living here...
