Yes and a small creek that apparently floods from time to time. But the entire interchange is more complex than it needs to be.

Mission is definitely seeing a bit of a revival which is great because it has backslid a little since I lived in that area in the 80's.
So what is the status of the Mission Gateway part of downtown Mission. That corner of Mission remains kind of a festering sore. While at it, I wish the city would fix the interchange at Roe and SMP. A highway interchange is not needed there, just make it into a standard intersection and the city could even reclaim some land that is now dedicated to unneeded cloverleafs.
As for Roe and SMP, do you mean Metcalf? Roe/Johnson Drive has a few ramps, but nothing major.

I think Mission Gateway is in default. No one really knows what's going to happen.

Let's not overlook the challenges involved in getting the state to fund, or indeed even consent to, any reasonable projects involving their highways. Anything involving SMP or Metcalf that isn't designed to blast cars through nonstop at 65mph is basically a non-starter.grovester wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 2:34 pmYes, not really cloverleafs.

Re: Downtown Mission/ The Gateway
The development agreement with the city was terminated last year due to default. Meanwhile, the property owner, Aryeh Realty, is party to a court case involving foreclosure and several liens, and the city is not a party to that case. You can lookup civil cases using Aryeh Realty as a partial name search on the county courts website to view more information: https://public.jococourts.org/index.aspx
