Not sure if this is precedence or not, but I am trying to recall any individual business that has gotten it’s own traffic light entrance or a similar traffic advantage paid for by taxpayers?
The last I can recall is the McDonalds at 41st & Minnesota getting their own turn lane off of Minnesota Ave.
I wonder what the rule/law is with spacing between controlled intersections? Is there enough space between 41st and 49th to justify another traffic light?
The irony in all this is how the city has actually harmed a lot of private retail businesses throughout the city by putting in mediums so you can’t make a left turn into them from the right side of the street.
I wonder if a sizable donation to the Ice Plex may have something to do with it. Just curious.
