ktf: "If anything I would think that Trenton would be interested in getting a Greentree Exit installed, as a way to bypass Ohio 122 and Ohio 63."

Don;t know about the Greentree exit discussion, but years ago, there was discussion and attempts made to get Rt 63 extended west into Trenton so that Miller Brewery could have a direct route for their trucks to haul the beer to I-75. Never happened. Couldn't procure the land from the bend going to Rt. 4 south to have 63 continue west to Trenton for the project. (Correct me if I'm wrong on that folks)

Oxford State Rd. has been a mess for decades. Drainage issues, pothole issues, you name it. No effort that I know of to improve it. ]]> Fri, 18 Jan 2013 06:04:42 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5000&PID=36418&title=2-new-exits-for-middletown#36418 2 New Exits for Middletown? : ktf1179 wrote:I was on the... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5000&PID=36416&title=2-new-exits-for-middletown#36416 Author: Mike_Presta

Are these plans still on the table, or have they been pushed back?
Ktf,
I doubt that these interchanges will happen.  The first reason, as others have pointed out, is money.  There are many other locations in Ohio that could easily out-justify these two locations for the large expenditures necessary.
 
The second reason, at least for the Greentree Road location, is location.  If I am not mistaken, current federal standards for interstate highways dictates at least ONE MILE between any interchange ramp and the ramp for the next interchange.  I doubt that a properly engineered interchange could be designed for Greentree Road with the ramps at least  one mile from both the 122/Middletown ramps and the 63/Monroe ramps.  Of course, I could be wrong.

Little history here...... It use to be worse. The steel truck route to the Wikoff Gate at AK has been Roosevelt Blvd for years. Didn't use to be so. In the 50's (or 60's), Roosevelt was cut through to aleviate the steel truck traffic that use to travel Grand Ave. past the Breile/Grand intersection, past Jackson Lane. Kensington, Orchard St. to cut over to the Wikoff Gate. Lived with my grandparents on Grand/Dorset intersection at the time and while the steel truck noise was taken for granted, it was still annoying at times. More history from that time......Grand Ave. use to be a two lane road in the 50's and use to be the only way in/out of town to the east as it wound through the corn fields on either side of the road where Frickers, LaRosas, White Castle, Plaza 122, the car dealership at Route 25 and Roosevelt, Frisches, Lonestar, etc. are now. Was a straight shot out to the freeway before they made that little jog where Grand meets Roosevelt. Made it into the four lanes you see today back then. ]]> Thu, 17 Jan 2013 11:35:06 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5000&PID=36414&title=2-new-exits-for-middletown#36414 2 New Exits for Middletown? : I know when Austin blvd. was installed... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5000&PID=36413&title=2-new-exits-for-middletown#36413 Author: ktf1179

I know when Austin blvd. was installed on I-75 they were able to get Springboro, Miamisburg, Miami Township, and Washington Township  together to plan out the interchange. I am sure the impacted communities could do the same. If anything I would think that Trenton would be interested in getting a Greentree Exit installed, as a way to bypass Ohio 122 and Ohio 63. But I do know Oxford State Road is in dire need of widening and repair as well.

ktf....based on what has happened in the last two decades, this is probably wishful thinking. The Journal has had stories on Manchester Rd. having freeway access for the last two decades. As soon as the subject comes up is as soon as it dies.

Middletown would have to incur some of the cost for these new ramps along with the state and fed portions and I doubt if they have any money at all at the city building for this. It's all going downtown.

The Master Plan has exits at both locations from a planning perspective.  Much work, cooperation with neighboring jurisdictions and funding sources need to be found before this can happen.

I believe when Mike Robinette was ED the focus was on the Manchester Rd. Exit.
