At their meeting tonight
, the City Council is scheduled to select a preferred design alternative for the interchange that will connect the Route 250 bypass and McIntire Road/Meadowcreek Parkway. After Council’s action, the design will be further refined in advance of a future meeting where Council will approve the final interchange plan. Hall says the interchange selected by the steering committee is much too large and will reduce the quality of life in her neighborhood. Tucker says the two projects have cleared nearly all of the regulatory hurdles and are ready to go forward.
