There are some “ongoing†road studies affecting the Sioux Falls area we should understand. They are located HERE.
- Interstate 229 Major Investment Corridor Study
- S.D. 100 Corridor Preservation Project
- I-229 Exit 5 (26th Street) Crossroad Corridor Study
We got to go to church tonight to find out what is happening to our new by-pass highway, SD100. Oh boy. We find out the chosen route from Madison Street to the EROS / I-90 exit. Don’t be expecting to use the new road anytime soon, we have about 5 years of construction to look forward to.
Note to State DOT and City of Sioux Falls, hold these meetings at Carnegie Town Hall so the nerds amongst us can watch them on SIRE or channel 16. It is the least the City of Sioux Falls can do to let us in on some of the plans affecting our lives. It amazes me the amount of money and energy the city spends on feel good press conferences about drunks in the park and people who get punched in the face over defending a taco restaurant employee, but we can’t simply have a meeting at Carnegie and turn on the video camera? How many millions of dollars have we spent remodeling the joint? Why not use the facility? Instead we hold a Hwy meeting in a church.
It is going to be a while before the south route is even being considered. Looks like Walmart may be waiting until the next decade for the road they want. Call a Whaaabulance.
