Re: Idea For 132nd and Giles Reroute

When they originally built the Giles/Harrison exit back in the early 90's, they should've redone 132nd and Giles, too. Here are a couple of ideas of how I think they should've done it: Idea #1: https://cdn-thumbs.imagevenue.com/d1/ac/d5/ME150DXH_t.png Idea #2: https://cdn-thumbs.imagevenue.com/33/c1...

Okay, enough about California. Let's get back to the topic at hand - Oak View Mall. In my personal opinion, having only 2 wings leading to Dillard's and Younker's wasn't enough. JCPenney's and Sears both should've had their own wings leading to them as well.
