Old Madison Pike Widening

An article in the Huntsville Times reports that the city of Huntsville will be accepting public comments regarding the widening of Old Madison Pike between Slaughter Rd. and the Thornton Research Park.

From the article:

"The city and the state Department of Transportation have scheduled a March 1 public hearing for the project's corridor and design. The hearing will be from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Pope John Paul II Catholic High School multipurpose room at 7310 Old Madison Pike. The easiest way to reach the room is from the back of the school."

The article states that the proposed widening will include four lanes with a grass median and new bridges over Indian Creek. No mention is given as to whether bike lanes would be incorporated. As a connector to the multi-modal transit hub at Bridge Street, it would be great to add bike lanes to this road.
