With a great break in the colder temperatures, the contractors are making headway on the new Rope Mill Road interchange on I 575. Pictured here is equipment working on the relocation of the current Rope Mill Road north of Riverwalk Parkway. The realignment provides the space necessary to have access lanes in addition to the on/off ramps. It also aligns Rope Mill Road with Woodstock Parkway at the existing intersection of Ridgewalk and Woodstock Parkways.
The interchange is long overdue and will relieve some of the current congestion of traffic just trying to get through Woodstock. A continuation of the planned parkway through Woodstock Knoll, the former Toll Brothers residential developement now owned by Ashton Woods, is needed to further aleviate the congestion of "through traffic". To make the vision of the Liveable Cities Initiative a safe pedestrian environment this is critical. The LCI program, which funded the current cityscapes improvements, envisions an environment where residents, businesses and services are available in a walkable small town atmosphere.
