The city is working on a plan to widen Country Hills Boulevard to six lanes between Barlow Trail and Harvest Hills Gate N.E. — a stretch along which there are currently only four lanes.
“A well known phenomenon is that if you build more traffic lanes you will cause more people to drive because for a period of time your trip gets a little quicker, but ultimately in very short order those roads are congested again and before you know it transportation planners are at City Hall asking for more lanes.
According to Yule, the project will provide an opportunity to change the rail overpass at Nose Creek.He says there’s no way to get from Coventry Hills to Harvest Hills because of the railway. “These seem like necessary roads that need additional growth because of the growth we’ve already put in place but there is a vital climate change tool in that valley — and that is Nose Creek so let’s not skimp on the protections of Nose Creek. If these are vital roads for the growth that is predicted for these areas, then this wetland is of vital importance to climate change discussion.
