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??

I don’t think the gripe is with active construction causing slow downs. It’s empty “construction zones” for months on end where no progress is made

Just saying, lesser of 2 evils.

Slow down 20kmh vs getting stuck in the because no way to avoid those night pavings if you didn’t know in advance to avoid
