The decision was made to make the two turns, one on Hudson and then a greater than 90 degree on Elm St, both of which are against SS policy, and connects directly to the Stemmons Frwy.
The route had been published a few days before.
There is no route from Main St to the freeway. You say it would have had to cross a median, like it was a choice. It would have had to jump the curb and drive over a raised divider.
Thanx. I knew the second part.
