Barlow Upgrade P2
The argument was: integrate the roundabout into the highway or let it stand alone and used as a quick way for reverse direction? The stand alone won the day and here it is...
The two highway ends have met! While not seen, an underground roundabout is at the side heading to Foggy Heights. Industrial traffic cut a third of their time off deliveries. Access for residence is from an underground connection from the Foggy Heights roundabout and across the river on a six lane road. By the way, the river was designated unsuitable for water traffic and dangerous for recreational activities without proper safety protocols (sorry bungee jumpers, no more bridge towers).
Our traffic, noisy day and night, has only one bottleneck from the exit ramp to the highway to the smaller Barlow industry and that is tolerable.
One unusual mistake has become a feature as we will see...
...yes, the exit and entrance are placed in reverse! Surprisingly this works better than when it was "corrected" and we quickly put it back in reverse. The fact that all oncoming traffic moves to the center lane alleviates a collision. At this stage 2/3 of the roadway in Barlow Industrial were bulldozed while new power and water connections left all areas serviced. Eight new floating roof oil storage tanks are approved giving this abiotic operation a reserve capability during maintenance periods.
That is good news to J. Garnerians because the price of fuel will not fluctuate while a dozen derricks are worked over.
With new traffic patterns getting a work out from residence, commercial and business owners let's take a look as the Sun slips into night...
No doubt the meetings to discuss Barlow will continue as new problems emerge.
We thank our citizens for their patience and understanding while this monumental transformation was underway.
Mayor (Acting) Haylo Stachoo
