Back in ancient times (the 1970s), “Rider Corner” was a modest rural trumpet interchange on I-35/80, named after the railroad siding at Meredith Drive.
Now, it’s a bustling suburban area, with a SuperTarget nearby and an underpowered four-lane to the north. On Tuesday, the DOT will hold a public meeting to take a step toward redesigning the area, along with adding an interchange at 100th Street.
The alternatives are varied. They start with the addition of a simple flyover ramp from 35/80 to 141 plus a diamond interchange at 100th, and add flyovers and frontage roads from there.
