They keep raising taxes for various projects yet nothing ever gets done.

The MovEBR proposal wants money to fix traffic and infrastructure issues. One of the line items is synchronization of traffic signals. Why the hell do they need more money for this? Some idiot/thief in the transportation department should be fired if he isn’t doing this on a regular basis.

Remember MOVEBR will be managed by a contract construction management company.

If this is true then why do we need all the village idiots at DPW?

We could just fire the majority of them and just have a head of dpw manage the contractor.

How much is this company going to charge?

That’s more of an extortion issue.

IIRC, they intentionally broke the synchronization so that there would be more traffic and that people would want to find the projects.


Kind of like the “road diet” where they are taking Government down to two lanes in an attempt to get people to use other roads.


Doesn’t quite work well when Claycut is closed for long stretches of time, Capital Heights is one way heading west, and some roads like North Blvd end at BRCC.
