I live by the Grant Avenue project and that is a nightmare. One of the best quick local transit for locals from Sunshine to North of Norton options…and now it is “free” money becoming a thing that will ruin it all. More traffic on Campbell and Fort and Kansas because locals will avoid Grant.

I’ve found government has expanded beyond essential services to new departments and projects and job justification…used to be the media could call up the dept heads and talk with them on the record but now we have entire PR depts…who will speak for dept head…despite knowing nothing.

You could cut at least 1/3rd of modern govt and stop chasing projects…because they exist to justify their job but not be essential. Surely if soccer was such a big deal a private company would have made it a business. Surely if cyclists or joggers or walkers cared enough they would made it happen.
