ITD - You keep touting "Your Mobility". I get that your upgrading and improving Karcher interchange. But the problem is not the interchange. You keep changing the design several times and keep throwing money at it and in the end, its still overcrowded, backed-up and bottlenecked. I think the better solution would be to add more exits. Middleton overpass and Ustick roads should have an exit. You are forcing everyone on both sided of the interstate for miles to use either Franklin or Karcher interchanges. This is the bottleneck, this is why its always packed at both interchanges. When you knocked down and rebuilt the Old Karcher bridge, maybe it would've helped to add exits there too. Going further west, population is growing fast. when Goodson bridge is knocked down and rebuilt, this is when the new exits should be created- not 20 years too late like your track record. How about stay ahead of the curve for once. You say that exits and entrances cause slow downs at the merge points, yes you're right- during rush hour. That's everywhere and that's life. but what about the rest of the day- the other 20 or so hours of the day. All I'm saying is it would be better have more exits than to improve the current interchanges- that obviously prove they're not working.

The centennial way on ramp is terrible!!! it’s so short and dangerous to be able to merge onto the free way! Such a bad design
