A good number of people don't bother going near Wards and there will be more development on the west side of town over the next few years while the Wards Rd corridor is just about built out.
When has LU willingly paid for any capital projects for the city or county?
Wards Rd is about build out. Lakeside Dr by Billy Craft Honda is maxed out now with Alsi's etc as well. And you are right. 221 between the Wyndhurst turn and JF is the future traffic / retail nightmare
Actually, there is more than 600 acres of developable space right around that intersection and it has solid demographics. When Billy Craft moves down the road, that will open up another significant chunk of land right at the intersection. The only structure between Old Forest Rd and the Aldi that is not planned for development is the Wilco.
How about we (the city) don't spend any money on Wards; LU has more money than it knows what to do with and Jerry is offering!
