My issue with this is, this is a $2 million project on a road that doesn't really need much work - except maybe some minor repair. And it's going to take until October to fix. This is going to put a lot of people at a major inconvenience - and a lot of local businesses are going to be affected by this, too.

This is a major, major impact on taxpayers. This is a boondoggle.

With them closing the road like this, basically without giving anybody any notice, it's almost like they wanted to avoid pressure from the neighborhood public there. If they would have announced this a couple of months ago, people would have started complaining - and they might not have gotten their project done.
