This project (including the Transpark in general) needs a coherent plan and it is clear that there is not one. I'm happy local citizens have found ways to make the road's bill go to the federal government and state, but it appears to be poorly thought-out. I'm worried that if this road is built, it will lead to a dead-end. The transpark will undoubtedly continue to be hit-and-miss. This road project should wait until a comprehensive economic forecast and environmental study has been conducted. I read both the economic prospectus and environmental assessment for the site, and they are laughably inadequate (and far too optimistic).
