I know it;s been a while but try to keep up here. On the last point, I offered a way to add some "immediacy" to traffic. This time I am offering up a duel suggestion. One to improve the spirits in a couple ways. Behold, I give you Road Weekend!
What is this you may ask? It is a chance for two accomplishments. The premise is simple. On one particular weekend, the major highways and roads in need of work are closed. It is a city holiday that is observed by foot, only city and emergency vehicles are allowed to run. The roads are closed to finish construction on them. No more of this months to add a turn lane (like Franklin and Highland). The 405? There are stretches that trees are growing on what was already leveled for the widening.
Just finish it!
There is no shortage of labor here. Finish it. Seriously. Other cities seem to get their roadwork done through difficult off seasons. LA, what is your excuse? Just finish it. We'll stay home, sleep late, barbeque, whatever. Just finish it.

Oh, honey. Hast thou forgotten the sorry excuse for "road work" in Texas? 10, count em TEN years to complete a 4 mile stretch of road and it wasn't even an Interstate. THAT is a sorry state of affairs.
