Joe’s Question:

Joe wrote in and says he’s happy that the road work extending from Maryland Parkway to the south side of St. Rose is finally done- but now he wants to know- what happened to the rest of it?! He says: “I discovered it’s sort of like an infamous bridge to nowhere. The new sections that were built are only about three blocks long! Are builders planning to put up developments around there? Even more importantly, will there be a traffic light here in the near future? One is needed here really badly!”

 

Melissa’s Answer:

A construction project that doesn’t finish the work?! What’s up with that? I asked authorities from the City of Henderson about it. They said the part of the road that was built, was done by the developers of the southwest corner of St. Rose and Maryland Parkway. This entire area is a classic case of different developers being responsible for improving different sections of the roads. A time frame of when these developers need to finish these improvements were not available. However, the plan is to eventually have a road connect to the extension of Sunridge Heights– which runs parallel to St. Rose. Also, the City hopes to get the funding approved for a traffic light at a City Council meeting being held on June 16th. My fingers are crossed to get that funding approved for a traffic light for Joe and everyone else who drives this area!
