[QUOTE="buckeye, post: 1824824, member: 8467"] Baloney. The planners can't simply throw traveling logistics out the window when deciding which stretches of road to repair and when. He's right that there's now no good way to get through midtown - every freeway is now seriously compromised and even surface streets are going under the knife. From a recent TrafFax, right from the state: the BA will be down to one lane, both directions, around the Pittsburg bridge until further notice. Find another route. The TrafFaxes are full of "at least xxx months" and "until further notice". How long has the IDL been jacked up? What was that big ribbon cutting where they said it was "DONE"? No, I am unconvinced that our current situation is the result of good planning. It's hard work for everybody and the crews appear to be doing a conscientious job, but there was a serious breakdown in planning somewhere high on the ladder. A few people will ***** regardless of the situation. But then again, sometimes some bitching is warranted and we're there right now. If you don't see a problem, you haven't tried to drive across town and god forbid rush hour. [/QUOTE]
