It is highly likely that, between unions, and construction companies, and highway patrol departments, and schedule slips and general inattention, there is systemic incompetence in the DoT industrial complex.
It’s also highly likely that things are organized the way they are organized because it benefits someone—e.g. unions, and construction companies, etc. etc. -- and nobody cares about the convenience of the masses.
But that’s exactly what I mean. The union, the construction company, all have a stake, but none of them evil. It could even be all good guys. Say the planners are all looking out for the little guy. But one is worried about construction noise, and another about worker safety, and another about secondary traffic effects in local neighborhoods and another about cost overruns.
It’s the n-dimensional, multiplayer tug of war that produced a fucked up result, not actual malice on anyone’s part.
