(sorry for the delay -) you are kind of making my point.    it is  inevitable that the road has to be able to carry an increased amount of traffic, and it's maxed out, for the most part, already.  so what are the options?  really, what can be done?  what I project is total logic.  we are increasing in population and it's a fact when a commercial business goes in, it increases traffic flow.  the business does not stay in business with out the traffic.  so when is better to build? now at this level of growth...or later when it is even more compacted with newer, more expensive structures and more deconstruction is necessary? 
 i'm not "ok" with the changes it does force people into - it's a bummer. and I know the government doesn't look to be overly generous... but it is growing pains.  our town was laid out terribly.  we've built on a terrible foundation for years and now we are paying the price.  it has to change at some point.  sadly  for some without doubt.
