The End of State Road 9A

[Coolyfett]

Its not 295 EAST yet?

Bid opening for replacing the signs is scheduled for this June - per page 8 of FDOT status report:

Oh good lord, so they put up a few 295 West and East Beltway signs, then take em down, and are now bidding to put them back up?

FDOT is such a damn joke.

[coredumped]

Wow, and bidding is in JUNE! What do they do between now and then? Just scrape road-kill?

[reednavy]

I guess, damn shame it is taking so long to HANG SIGNS, after already partially doing it before. Such a wasterful department FDOT is.

Don't get your hopes up for action anytime soon.

How about fixing the peeling traffic light poles after several YEARS of looking at the rusted eye sores.  If I had a house peeling like that, I would have been cited by code enforcement.  What an embarrassment.

And, still no fixes on Hendricks with the mislaid manhole covers.

And, that giant chunk of a steel mountain on San Jose just north of University in Lakewood is no winner either.  Been there for weeks.  So high, you have to drive in the parking lane to go around it.

Why build new roads when we can't keep up with the ones we have?

actually, national statistics show that Florida's roads are in better condition than just about every other state.

Yeah,if you think Florida roads are "bad" you should drive in upstate NY,Pennsylvania or anywhere north.
Roads look like Serbian military have shelled it and then rolled over with tanks..and then NATO bombed it again.

[Bostech]

Plus road salt.

[Dog Walker]

Go North on I-95.  You will know instantly when you hit South Carolina.  Florida and Virginia have the best maintained roads in the East.

But, don't get me started about the manhole covers in this city.  Why do the covers sit an inch or so below the rim of the manhole?  Why is the concrete around them always broken up?

[Dog Walker]

Let's start a pool on how long Bos can go on any subject anytime without bringing up Serbs.

Is that not waste of material AND money?

Exactly. Drive in Oklahoma or Arkansas. Not pretty.

Best interstate in the nation again is I-40 in TN, of course this was before the giant rockslide on the TN/NC border last fall.

I have been noticing these lately, they look AWFUL.  They look like trees shedding their bark (birch maybe).  Just awful to look at.
