It's been a road to nowhere for years: part of the roadway that used to connect Bush River Road to Nursery Road. The old Nursery Road bridge was torn out after a long series of maintenance disputes and lawsuits. That forced traffic to detour into surrounding neighborhoods and limited direct access into a large portion of the Coldstream community.
