Never ending road repair!

Or as we like to call it, "the bumper car track" at Cedar Point. It is the main Provincial highway, just lower in traffic to the Number 1 expressway. It is Fraser Highway and it is undergoing a major improvement project. Our portion, the part we drive on daily is going to four lanes, yeah! But before it gets there we endure a slalom course of telephone poles left in the road. That's right, the new road was built and paved around the poles. As the picture shows it is a mess. Every now and then a pole gets hit, broken off and has to be replaced. Last night on our bike ride, we stopped and talked to a crew fixing one of the poles. After laughing with them about it's location in the middle of the road, the foreman of the crew started to complain about the lack of pre-planning concerning the poles. He said that the new plans, read that as the new location of the poles, has not even been worked out yet.
Here you have a multi million dollar revision and the last thing to be moved is the poles! That should have been first, or near the first item to be planned. He said they may even bury the lines. Now that makes sense except that the curbing, grass, landscaping and sidewalks are all in already. The time to bury is long past.
Oh well, at least they painted the lines.
