I think I have the roads straight. Oak Forest Drive parallels Buena Vista Drive north of 455. If you take the turn into Polo Ridge it is the next street and runs up towards Glenview. Now that they put the traffic light in at Southern Trace and Buena Vista it is faster to go into the Glenbrook entrance and scoot down Oak Forest Drive to Southern Trace and take a right to go to the shopping center.

I usually take Oak Forest from the Hawkes Bay golf course to Talley Ho to get on the recreation trail to go to Springdale. The drive is less bumpy.

Seems hard to see how they are going to control the no thru traffic. I am not sure where the signs are but unless it qualifies the entire stretch of Oak Forest those living on the north side of Talley Ho would be in violation if they took Oak Forest down to Southern Trace.

In fact, maybe we should do the same thing on Belle Meade Circle from Springdale to Quail Ridge. People not from our area use Belle Meade Circle to get to the Mulberry Grove shopping center. They should have to go up Buena Vista to Mulberry and across.

There are many short cuts that could be blocked to thru traffic. I wonder why Oak Forest got the nod.
