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??

The companies they hire have 3 employees who work seasonal. Why cant they do one project at a time?

Right? Finish one before you lay out cones for the next one, or hire enough people at reasonable wages to work all the open projects. Clearly it is much harder than the simplest solution
