What's the deal with the traffic/planning master plans? When I left (2014) Violetville/Morrell Park had a master plan for Wilkens/Caton/I-95/Washington to prevent too many trucks and save the green space. Look at it now. massive construction. Constant heavy truck traffic. No improved infrastructure. No widened roads or changed signals. How does that even happen? 4 major projects in 2 years IN THE SAME AREA. All paved over green space for big trucks.

I'm in the same area as u/Animanialmanac.No one can get traction with DOT because we're not connected to the council person. Porter doesn't give a shit if isn't the tiny part of Pigtown where she lives or the one block here where her friend lives. My block was supposed to get sidewalks regraded because the tree roots buckled them. Project cancelled. Why? I know it's not streets but sidewalks is under Transportation. I work in the business. The sidewalk fix is a 2 week job max. The sidewalks are dangerous. What's up?

The traffic light at Caton Avenue and Benson Avenue is covered with burlap, no lane changes or traffic calming. The accident there yesterday afternoon was horrific.
