The changes were made to increase business development on Maple. Primarily to serve more local residents. As the town recalls it:
Quote
In 1954, the first of Vienna's modern shopping centers was opened. More shopping centers followed in quick succession along a widened Maple Avenue in an attempt to keep up with the influx of newcomers who bought homes in the town's new subdivisions. Older residents recall with nostalgia the Victorian homes and the maple trees that lined Maple Avenue before it was widened in 1958.
You wanted development, you got it. It's also been subject to the same massive over development and large increases in density which have happened everywhere else around here.

I'm not the one sitting on 123. I avoid the area entirely unless I have absolutely no other choice than to be there for some reason. Which I generally don't. Just like everyone else who doesn't have to be there does. Guess who does have to be there on a daily basis?

They have no choice but to take part. All of the impediments put in place affect locals more than anyone else. There are no secret routes. All of the inconveniences and attempts to circumvent them are a problem for locals on a more frequent basis than for anyone else. If they do take some alternate route that just moves that traffic to affect other local residents.
Enjoy! lol
