We might find out tomorrow night what the DOT plans to do at the intersection of US 30 and 218 in Benton County as part of its plans to upgrade 30 to four lanes heading westward. At the last meeting, the options were either an interchange or a J-turn (a modified Michigan Left that’s just as aggravating). I don’t know if this will be the last meeting over the issue.
One Benton County resident is unhappy with the process, accusing the supervisors of “giving incomplete information”, according to the Cedar Valley Daily Times. He staunchly doesn’t want an interchange, but I don’t believe his accusations hold up given that every public document has put the J-turn up front and center as an option. There’s even a video about J-turns with the meeting notice from August 2013, 16 months ago.
