Once the new bypass is built, a lot of businesses along the old bypass will cease and they will, hopefully, remove a few traffic lights too.

Isn't helped that 41 is closed between Kettleman and Stratford (no doubt the main cause).  I'm okay with Kettleman being knocked down a peg, all the stations there charge $1.50-$2.00 over the rest of the Central Valley for gas.  The new EZ Trip up on 269 got popular even for the Kings River Bridge replacement on 41.

Quote from: Max Rockatansky on May 13, 2024, 08:15:54 AMThe funny thing about Phoenix is that there aren't a ton of notable road items clustered together in a small space.  A meet there would basically comprise of Loop Freeway clinches.

If you like big, sprawling interchange configurations, and new freeways to nowhere, I have the Roadmeet idea for you!

^ Plenty of successful road meets have consisted of mainly this.

You're right. This actually sounds fine.  LOL

NO A'S IN ATTENDANCE: OAKLAND TRAILS A WHOPPING 553 U.S. TEAMS
QuoteWhat do the Calgary Roughnecks of the National Lacrosse League and the Houston Roughnecks of the United Football League have in common besides the name?

They both outdraw the Oakland Athletics.

Love the dearth of creativity in team names.  "Is there oil nearby?  Okay, we're the 'Roughnecks!'  Yeah, that's good enough."
I'm sure the author went out of their way to pick two teams with the same name, but still.
