The two round-abouts on 8th street when all the construction is finished will be a traffic nightmare similar to the two round-abouts on 32 near the hospital. Come on man, the round-abouts are too small in diameter and too close together for smooth traffic flow.
This trail expansion is amazing. Did they repurpose the Midland Trace railroad trestle? That would really cool.
The trail extension over the river is probably the only part of this project that can be construed as progress. No, the bridge didn’t make it. It was sent down the river to Conner Prairie. I think its in storage. This is one ugly scar through an urban neighborhood. Dozens of homes and businesses were bulldozed to carve a 100 foot right of way right through the south side (the only economically challenged census tract in the county). A once thriving urban intersection (businesses on four corners) is now a roundabout wasteland. The south side is severed from downtown. The city had to spend millions to relocate an industrial business that was displaced by the project and threatened to leave town. Through it all, leadership ignored pleas to take a less destructive route. Robert Moses would have been proud of this project. Its a 20th century traffic solution launched more than 2 decades into the 21st century, plus roundabouts. Its great for people who want to get through town quickly without stopping but terrible for those of us who live here and have to pay for it.
Michael C., you get a gold star for the reference to Robert Moses. I’m just old enough to remember attending the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair. I learned about Moses while reading up on his role in that event, which subsequently led me to learn about his long history of enforcing “improvements” upon New York City’s roadway system. He was quite the character. As for the Noblesville project, I’ve seen the construction and it sure does look like more of a scar than an improvement. I understand the problems all that traffic poses for downtown Noblesville, but I am somewhat skeptical that this is the best solution … especially with that 90-degree turn anchored by two very close roundabouts on 8th Street.
This project will be a huge economic boom for this part of the city as well as help eleviate the traffic issues around the square. Change is hard but some people have the intestinal fortitude to make the hard decisions for the greater good. Thank You Mayor Jenson for leading this charge.
