DP - John Chapman supports it and Paul Smedberg supported it (and yes, I know he is out, but I have hopes he gets reelected).  I think at least a few of the new members stated during the campaign that they were open to discussing it. My understanding is that there are/were plans that would create a flyover over and thus, not affect Ben Brennan.  [/quote]

FYI - during a campaign, if a voter says " I want X" any smart pol will say they are open to discussing X.

I have not heard Chapman mention it, but I suppose its possible.

Ben Brenman Park extends from Holmes Run to Somverville Road. A flyover, even if it did not actually take acreage from the park (at what cost in dollars?) would still impact the park. Unless you are planning to run it east of Holmes Run?

And putting more cars onto Duke would seem at variance with the notion of creating a transitway on Duke.  Sending cut through traffic on Duke WB to Van Dorn then NB on Van Dorn seems at variance with with the current plans for Landmark  (a highway entrance from I395 into Landmark is more likely)  If the added cut through traffic goes EB on Duke it will cut through on Jordan or Fort William adding to existing problems there.  I do not think its worth spending $ and impacting the park just to shift some cut through traffic from Clover College Park to Fort Williams and Jordan -  assuming that this does not draw MORE cut through traffic off the highways, which I am quite skeptical of.

To do this would need a traffic study first, to see what it does to cut through traffic.   I can think of other transportation changes more worthy of getting $ for a study.
