Crabtree Valley Avenue Extension Fading
The proposal for a bypass road on the west side a Crabtree Valley Mall has been debated for 40 years. The middle third of the project, Crabtree Valley Avenue, is complete, but its planned extensions appear to be doomed.
The current recommendation is to finally remove the road from the city’s comprehensive plan. After all this time, the City has not found justification for its existence. Today the City Council recommended pushing the topic back to committee to consider its need with the ensuing developments behind Crabtree. According to Michell Silver’s presentation today, though, it is likely that this road will not be included in the new comprehensive plan for the city.
