If you look at the concept plan for the Aspen Ridge subdivision there will be three sets of traffic lights plus parallel parking on a portion of Mcormond. Talk about stupid planning (or just another example of poor planning by the city). I estimate that between highway 5 and the north bridge there will ultimately be 10 to 12 sets of lights from willowgrove through evergreen, aspen ridge and the next planned subdivisions north of silverspring. Plus the on street parking in Aspen Ridge. I'm only speaking for myself, but I live in Arbor Creek and I likely won't use the bridge more than a couple times a year.

I totally agree with the poor planning, but really makes me wonder is how they plan to control truck traffic coming out of the industrial and trying to go east. The bridge itself will certainly help people working in the north end and living within a mile of the east side!
