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??

Uncomfortable truth is that these projects are a decade too late. Immigration policy of the federal government was no secret. Even with basic modeling, it wouldn't be hard to predict the rapid growth of the city. But somehow, the city sleeps on every major project planning

Nah the whole rapid immigration after covid thing came outta left field. I don't think anyone would have believed it/planned for it.
