Did the project team consider preventing southbound traffic on Route 31 from turning left (east) onto Main Street?

Any plan to revise traffic patterns on State Routes must consider both car and truck traffic. Second Street (Route 31) and Main Street (Route 64) are designated truck routes, Illinois and Prairie Streets are not. Forcing all traffic from SB Route 31 to cross the river on the Illinois and Prairie Street bridges would place truck traffic on local streets and does not provide a route for trucks to get back to Main Street and continue east.
