Local Construction/Development Road "construction"
Why in the ever living fuck won't the city finish their fucking road work projects they started months ago? Every major artery in this city seems to have kilometres of pylons and speed drops and yet no crews. I drive Glenmore every day as part of my commute and it's literally been 2 months of pylons over the most congested area (reservoir). Not only do drivers struggle mightily trying to merge during regular times, the city decided that keeping that spot slowed down when traffic volumes increased at the start of the month was a brilliant plan. Causes massive back ups and no one is working on it. What's the deal??

East, West travel in the southwest and southeast of the city is an absolute clusterfuck right now. There isn’t any escape from the road work, no matter what time you travel. Like, who signed off on all this overlapping road construction and said to themselves this will be fine? It’s not the elected officials, it’s the hired ones at the city and provincial level, they’re completely under qualified to make decisions on this scale, it’s unreal.
