Something like that would certainly spur growth in things like new restaurants and stores in an urban setting. I'm not a huge fan of these rural-style turnpikes (those with large grass median, no service roads) going right through city. Something like that really takes away any real opportunity for rezoning and more tax revenue from restaurants and stores. But alas, whatever style is built, it will really help traffic.
