Subject: Memphis North 2nd Street plans
Today's Memphis Commercial Appeal ran an article about the plan to
rebuild and extend North 2nd Street from Auction Street to the US 51/TN
300 interchange in Frayser.

Highlights:

- The road would be a six-lane expressway (what TDOT calls a "parkway")
with a 34ft median south of the Wolf River, and a freeway north of the
Wolf River.

- There are wetlands in the way.  (Rhetorical: When aren't there wetlands
  in the way?)

- No mention of how this might tie into I-69, which probably will also
extend from the TN 300/US 51 interchange.

- Since TDOT's involved, this probably would be an extension of TN 300
(which might actually lead to TN 300 being signed in the field!)
