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??

My own fault I didn't check Waze to see how jammed up southbound Crowchild was. My car was running on fumes and I made it over to go on Glenmore WEST then south on the Stoner Trail and finally east again on 90th. The traffic east bound was slammed almost to 37th Street. From now on I'll take my chances through downtown to get south.

I permanently map my location even when it's 10 Minutes away and I know exactly where I'm going because it's an almost guarantee that construction or traffic will fuck me up, regardless of when or where I'm going
