CO: I-270/I-70 intersection issues
« on: May 11, 2021, 03:40:20 pm »
So I shunpiked E470 today and in doing so noticed that I-270 has a ramp that connects to I-70's Exit 279A signed as Exit 5. Should I just ignore that this exists? If I did put a point in for it, where would it go?

Relabel I-270 'I-70' as '5'?

The only problem with that is that 5 is technically not I-70...

When I first saw this I wanted to add "Exit 5" but now after thinking through it logistically, given the way TM interstate junctions are set up there's really no way to fit it in there.

I think that you should either go with "5" or keep it as-is. Since Exit 5 is truly for Central Park Blvd and not I-70, I do not think that relabeling it to "5" is necessarily the best move.

If it were me I'd go no-build.
