Impact analysis
No construction is planned now — it's a right-of-way preservation tool; costs fall on future development.
Future residents and commuters gain a planned north-south route; the proposed park and annex site avoids being bisected.
Landowners along the alignments face future right-of-way dedication; the existing alignment would impact a chapel.

The county considered moving an existing planned north-south thoroughfare alignment (green/yellow/red options) near Kickapoo and Joseph Roads. Landowners, a 138-year-old church, and multi-generational farm families opposed all three options, fearing eminent domain, flooding, and loss of their rural way of life. The court tabled the item indefinitely.
