I know the City is just trying to improve our streets and make things better, but why does it feel like they are just roaming from corner to corner, street to street, making more messes? I have to drive through that crap to and from work every day, as I'm sure many of you do. I don't know a whole lot about how this sort of "improvement" should be done, but I would think, just based on common sense, you could work on one street corner, finish it and move on to another one, rather than leaving various cones, tape, potholes, mud holes, dirt piles, asphalt piles for us to drive through, around and over. I can't imagine what a horrible mess this is going to be through Mountain Festival weekend. The streets are bad enough then without all this kind of confusion. Why did the City schedule this kind of project to coincide not only with the Mountain Festival, but also the beginning of the school year? Will the mess and blinking stoplight on Curry still be there on Aug. 21 when school goes back into session? I can just see the traffic backing up now...
