just drive like its lap 199 at daytona.
everytime i cross the glenwood bridge some asshole commin off the carson street on ramp will just go without even yeilding when i’m barreling down… now if i’m in the blazer i don’t mind cause i would love to get a new daily when they smash into me. on the flip side if someone is not takin their turn and its basically standstill traffic i wedge the nose of my car in so they either hit me or let me. hopefully they hit me.

even if thats the case, those companies get paid by the job, not by the hour so it SHOULD be in their best interest to get everything done ASAP.

but just like most jobs there are dependencies…in this case time, money, supplies, and weather. those guys standing around are doing so because they have to wait until the other guy finishes what he is doing before the rest can move on. the process cannot be rushed.

meh, I yack with our CEO all the time… :dunno: I guess it’s possible that you’d have an “in”?
Seriously, it’d be nice to hear their perspective for once. We never hear from the people managing the projects’ side of things, just angry motorists. I’m sure there’s all kinds of scheduling/material/personnel/management crisis/problems/parts and what not.

Ya The company is pretty big…5000 employees about 65 offices and I work at the home office. My boss is the CFO so I talk to the higher ups a lot in the executive side…on the engineering side I really do not talk to those guys unless there is an issue financially related. But I see what you are saying we are all just people. Yeah there is a lot of planning from what I can tell but it is still fun to bitch when we are all pissed…even though 90% of us do not have a clue all what is involved.

> the major problem with the way people merge in this city is the way merge points are designed. the SQ exits is the most idiotic piece of engineering the causes most of the traffic delays on the parkway east outbound. on on ramp 50 yards before an off ramp!!! WTF. the lower decks of the ft pitt and ft duq bridge are another of the engineering flops in this city.
I also love the how people coming from the monroville area that take the sq/homestead exit dont seem to understand what YEILD means, ive almost been sideswipped more times lthen i can count while im comming outbound and taking the greenfeild exit.

horseshit. maybe on some of the more extensive stuff like bridge renovations but there’s no reason that you cant pave fast.
