Somehow, someone up there figured out how to build loops and highways ahead of time rather than after the growth. There are empty stretches of highway out there and those highways GUIDE the growth rather than respond to it when it's too late and you have legal and constuction obstructions. It's amazing and you can get anywhere in 15 minutes. <BR/> <BR/>Austin is a beautiful place to live and I wouldn't trade it for anything but someone wasn't thinking when they built those highways. I have one simple question. Why didn't they build overpasses on the south side going from I-35 to 71-S and on the north side going from S-183 to N-I35? It's a very bizarre thing and makes those two additions worthless. <BR/><BR/>Barbara Bergin<BR/>author of "Endings"<BR/>http://www.barbaraberginink.comBarbara Berginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10701269178161463112noreply@blogger.com
