Pretty sure none of those streets ever saw a Pokémon on them.Quote from: zachary_amaryllis on November 02, 2021, 06:42:04 PMfort collins has this area with all these nautical-themed streets ... that surround a smallish pond. things like whaler's way, landings drive, etc.
Las Vegas has nautical streets here and there... in the freaking desert. There's also a neighborhood that has a whole bunch of precipitation-themed streets: Raincloud Dr., Tempest Place, Hurricane Way. And one of them is Blizzard Lane. I would be surprised if Blizzard Lane has ever had more than an inch of snow since it was built.

(not that I'm complaining, NDOT has done a very nice job with the streets they're responsible for in my experience)
Politics. It is worth noting that NDOT has been trying to get rid of anything that isn't of regional significance for quite some time, but not gonna happen at this point without a mileage swap.
Quote from: cl94 on Today at 02:01:56 AMRe: maintenance, NDOT roads in the Reno area are not in great shape. Parts of 580/395 are in worse shape than most local surface streets because we're still dealing with original concrete, while surface streets tend to be chip/slurry sealed every few years. NDOT plowing this year was horrendous compared to local agencies. And don't get me started on the condition of US 50.

You need lots more real estate for it and more piers to install since piers aren't being shared. It's "innovative" and "looks purty" but that's about it.From what I've noticed, it allows faster driving speeds which can prevent unnecessary braking and slowdowns in heavier volumes. I've driven the turbine at I-485 / I-85 in Charlotte, NC and you can easily take those ramps at 55 mph, and they're 2 lanes throughout. No significant change in grade and sharper corners.
