At least it was easy to identify the shitheads in this thread that contribute to these projects taking so long. Government workers defending government work.

Not exactly correct. But since you mentioned contributing, why don't you contribute a solution? We can even skip the environmental permit issue. How do you propose getting a topo survey done without legal access to the land? How do you propose shortening the time it takes to legal obtain the right of way necessary?

Well you didn't make a very good one.

Keep logistics out of this!!
We need to emotionally charge ahead.
SOMETHING will come of it.
I think.
Has to right?
It's worth a shot.
Now who's gonna pay me to try?

This is hyperbole and you know it. Look at Texas. In 2 years from being just a figment of someone's imagination, they built a massive loop project. It was 6 months from breaking ground to completion. We have stuff designed, voted on, and have the funds allocated, and it stil takes 2-5 years to get from that to breaking ground, followed by 3 years of work to do what? Add 1 f&%king turn lane to 1 mile of road.
If you can't see that we're getting screwed on procedural bullshite to line peoples' pockets, then you're blind or on the take.

Can you give me more info on this? I'd really like to read some facts about this. Which loop?

I like how you quote something that you don't understand and just go "yep." It's like you don't consider that perhaps kingbon is himself exaggerating. An entire loop did not go from a figment of imagination to constructed in 2 years. He's full of it.

The fact that you are denying the states lackadaisical approach to these projects makes me doubt your experience with them. 
If this was an industry project it would be done in 1/4 of the time. You have to deal with the 23 holidays and 24 vacation days as well as the typical lazy state workers.

I'd like a link to me actually saying that before we go any further.

I sure hope you're not implying that the people that actually build these things are state workers.

Further, do you think people are just sitting around twiddling their thumbs? You probably do. You clearly have zero clue as to what goes into to making a project happen.
Maybe not directly, but I guess I was shooting more to address the fact that there is lots of twiddling of thumbs when the state is involved.

I'm not. I'm talking about review/comment handoffs etc.

There's twiddling of thumbs on the private side too.

If it were an industry project, it would be done with private money on private land.
Let me throw something else out there. This project, just like "the loop" project has a whole lot of importance to the people in the BR are (and you buncha plant worker fricks from the pastures out there too), but do you really think that the people up in Shreveport give a shite that you are parked in your jacked up 4x4 pickups for an hour on the way to and from work? Nope! And guess what, their tax dollars are helping to fund the projects. What I am trying to say is that there are only so much funding to go around for projects all over the state. Your LA 70 headches are as important to them as their I-20 headaches are to you. Someone has to figure why LA 70 should be improved rather than a part of I-20.
Understand where I'm going? Or are you just too damn dumb?

But not nearly on the level of govt projects.

No traffic for me on my commute. And my 4x4 is only leveled not jacked up
