St. Hyacinth Community Meeting - here's where you can learn about the proposed $375+ million project. Get it while you can - your say that is. $375 million tax dollars at work. Not yet. This is a new way to get from E55th and I490 terminus at 35mph to University Circle. Is it not possible to travel any number of routes at that speed to arrive in the same place without spending $375 million? What is the real "opportunity cost [1]" of this project?
Remember there are two goals here: 1 - mobility 2 - economic development
Attend the meeting to better understand how each goal will be achieved. Or don't go and just plan to "get out your wallet".
more info - visit ODOT Urban Core Projects [2]
Here are the slides they're gonna show you [3]. Opens as pdf of a powerpoint presentation, of course.
Held outdoors in January? No, apparently Edgewood Park is the name of a housing development [4].
There's some older background and history attached. See more info here [5].
