That would suck.

I have to believe when that happens, the citizens will have a case for installation of a wall on both sides. It is hard to justify a wall when you knew the interstate was there. But there will be justification for it when they change the size of the Turnpike (shorten the buffer to homes).

The developer might want the idyllic golf courses and manicured lawns visible to sell more homes down south, but I suspect the din of voices calling for a wall will be powerful.

When you look at any other widening of the turnpike or any other interstate, you almost always see the inclusion of new walls.

We'll have to see on this one, though.
