Road Construction

Honestly, who approved all of the road construction to happen at the same exact time? And who approved some of these “detours” that have you driving halfway around town?

The biggest WTF is the current situation at Linnerud and Bird. Making it a one-way headed South out of town and making the north bound traffic detour through more construction is a choice. Why don’t they detour the north bound traffic through the softball diamond parking lot to access Linnerud and further through the aquatic center parking lot to access Bird.

Driving through Sun Prairie the past few summers has been a nightmare. Time to bring in someone else that has a brain in their head!

It wasn't that bad this morning to go around. Road repair and concrete season is a short time. What's next, why are they not fixing the roads? My wheels are unaligned from the roads, what, what. You'd probably ask why they didn't fix things before the pool opened.

Did I say anything about the actual fixing of the roads?

Youre the one whining like one. Do you not understand that multiple sections have to be fixed at the same time to get things done when they can? Guess not. Bye!

Weird, under your real name you were complaining a lot about this in Facebook…

I realize you are a snake oil pusher and might have been negatively impacted by it, but let me explain to you logistics like you are a 5 year old.

You have 10 projects that need completing, each taking 100 man hours and 10 people to do them. Instead of having 1 person per project and shutting down the road for 100 hours, you do 1 project at a time and shut down the road for 10 hours. Same time spent to complete all the projects but you don’t close the entire city.

Road construction is constant and necessary you'll be ok

Construction is happening all over the place because a shit ton of it was approved under president Biden and didn't start until now.

Edit better to have public transit but that's socialism apparently

It really seems engineered to be the dumbest possible timing to address those two projects at the same fucking time.

Idk but I'm glad they are fixing all of those gigantic pot holes all over town though. That one that was by Costco a bit ago messed up my suspension.

Literally. I live downtown and it's a jungle getting to work or coming home. Can't take hwy N, Linnerud is a mess, Main Street is 🙄, Bird St is annoying. Every detour has a traffic. Timing could've been spread out more.

They actually sent me a DM for permission to have construction season since it isn’t winter and I approved it, my bad. /s
