Today the 3rd lane opened up on St Rd 54 West direction!

Much more relaxed driving from now on, compared to the last years with only 2 lanes open.

That new ease of access will be short lived as developers will exploit the opportunity to build more houses.

The road should have been built and designed as an interstate highway in the first place.

In the past I have heard developers and builders of roads telling me that the way most people like me seem to think that the way this handled is not efficient, money wise.

Their mind set is that if the keep having to change it that helps to create jobs and keeps the economy going and government employees who are in charge seem to be fine with that as they can write on their resume how they were involved in the improvement of roads and infrastructure.

We the average people feel that it is better to built it based on future needs but they feel it is more to suit current needs.
