I’ve been saying that for 20 years. In its earlier phase Springfield did an amazing job with it’s master plan, but then totally dropped the ball. I said 20 years ago they need to start on the freeway because it takes that long to build, and we were growing at an expansive rate.

15 years ago they said Christian and Greene county would triple in size and that the towns would grow together. That literally happened. So why the hell didn’t they plan for the traffic. 20 years ago there was no need for a freeway - traffic was non existent. They knew the growth was coming.
