I think it probably was a safety problem when it went crossed empty fields. But those fields aren't all empty any longer. 470/Central Parkway now runs near or through Middleton, will be close to Eastport, and will be surrounded by new Villages soon. Things change.
It would be moot to argue timing, I just wonder if it takes much longer than that with the “improvements”? I would measure to guess the travel time has at least doubled? But then The Developer was fairly successful in destroying most of the roadway with its trucks and self proclaimed diversions anyway.
