Any thoughts?.

Good idea, Homeside does get conjested and atm the temp traffic lights isnt helping at all, i waited ages thier yesterday, sometimes there's quite a few people who get on the 56 at Homeside, it does seem a better idea, GNE might work around the new road layout, when its fully done... when dioes it get completed?
