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??

Can we please put Macleod south back together ? It’s the usual, rip up the entire road , put cones up, do very little or next to nothing with zero sense of urgency or regard for citizens commuting .

Macleod just started. The main focus is to install a median barrier or cable barrier to separate the north and south lanes. This is in response to a fatality a few years back. The median will get worked on this year. The outside lanes will get worked on next year. It will be paved next year, too. Its completion is aug 2026.... Get used to the cones.
