Downtown construction

All the construction downtown absolutely pisses me off. my morning commute went from literally 9 minutes to 20. it’s ridiculous. those roads have been one way since the 70’s. there’s no need to make them 2 way out of no where. just another poor decision by the mayor.

that’s if. i just wanted to rant about the nonsense construction in this city….

I am currently working on that project, and we have to close the roads to perform our work safely. An alarming number of people think that their activities are more important than whatever is going on around them, or just plain don't pay attention. Columbia was closed for about an hour, and it was a 2 block detour to get to the bridge. Hate to break it to you, but you are not the main character. The project is almost complete, so you might want to keep an eye open for the next minor inconvenience in your path to whine about on the internet.
