Lexington drivers have enough trouble as it is... Did anyone see the news last night for the Harrodsburg Road / New Circle plan? DUMB DUMB DUMB (IMO of course). There will ALWAYS be a lane of Harrodsburg road traffic stopped at a light... Why not just do it with both directions of Harrodsburg road traffic having a ramp to go either driection on New Circle in a true clover leaf. This new design is going to get people hurt really bad. IMO once again.

What should have been the plan in my opinion..
A true cloverleaf with collector/distributor roads and that should not require any changes to the overpass.

You should have heard my eight year old son complaining about the new intersection Friday when we went through there. He told me he doesn't want anyone in the family to EVER drive through it. He continued to explain how the wreck would occur. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Oh wait, is that too many smiley faces? Nope, not here. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
