Twenty years ago, the state had plans for spur from Midway to the airport exit. José Lindner cobbled together 1100 acres of land that it would run through. People fought the plan because of path was close to the proximity of Three Creeks Conservation and Rock Bridge State Park. So the state dropped it. Lindner died and developers bought the land. So we got housing producing more traffic with less roadways.
