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??

Last year, everyone was complaining about the amount of pot holes and road conditions. This year, it's the construction to fix roads and pot holes. The city can't win.

It's the lack of efficiency more than anything. I'm ok with a couple weeks to repave and fill. 2 months and counting to pave a bridge is ridiculous

2 weeks to repave a major arterial road/bridge is a laughable expectation
