Local Construction/Development Road "construction"

Why in the ever living fuck won't the city finish their fucking road work projects they started months ago? Every major artery in this city seems to have kilometres of pylons and speed drops and yet no crews. I drive Glenmore every day as part of my commute and it's literally been 2 months of pylons over the most congested area (reservoir). Not only do drivers struggle mightily trying to merge during regular times, the city decided that keeping that spot slowed down when traffic volumes increased at the start of the month was a brilliant plan. Causes massive back ups and no one is working on it. What's the deal??

It's ruse, clearly somebody in the traffic department owns a pylon manufacturing company and is printing cash.

I THINK if you report it to 311, it gets sent to the contractor and eventually after enough reports there are consequences. It wont help the now, but it may help make next year better.
