So, this highway project that we’re doing associated research on has a community task force. They decided to have a meeting on the final project this evening. I, as resident bitch boy, got to take minutes. 2.5 hours of high speed typing. And my wrists don’t even hurt. I <3 you, dvorak. Thanks for leading the way,
It really wasn’t that bad, as I’m not terribly emotionally invested in this project. It’s projected to raise a few million in revenues. It may provide a much needed relief lane for some people on off days. But the passion these people have over a lane of traffic. Dude, if having to wait on the highway bothers you that fucking much, here’s a thought. Why don’t you goddam well move so you’re right next to work. Novel thought, eh?
It’s a small patch to a growing hole. It won’t do much to relieve congestion in the main stretches, and if it did, people would build out until it didn’t anymore. Build a city right, and don’t eviscerate it with highways until nobody wants to be there anymore. That’s my story. =)
and to all a good night.
The Twin Cities have a long and proud history of the road contractors getting their tentacles into politics. Anyone remember the streetcars this city once had?
