Public views overpass plans for Odessa intersection

Engineer Dan Dalager presented costed designs, stressing a four way bridge at 9.8 million with a Dec 2007 completion if funded, else a smaller north south bridge option. Residents raised concerns on traffic, noise, landscaping, flooding, and access while officials urged mitigation and compatibility with the neighborhood.
