FDOT finds $120 million: Fuller Warren to be widened

[Non-RedNeck Westsider]

Let me ask this question from a foggy memory:

Wasn't the original intent of the new interchange designed so that all traffic heading 95N or 95S, oming from west of the 17 exit is supposed to stay in the far left lanes, while the traffic coming on from 17 is supposed to stay in the far right lanes? 

What happened to the signage,  lane striping,  lane/exit identification and the diverters and such?  Their original plan made sense, it was just never followed through to the end and now you have this absolute CF where no one knows exactly where they're supposed to be to make the exit they need to make.

Rather than spending an additional $136M on not even fixing the problem, why not spend $1.36M finishing the original job as proposed?

So you see, there are these things called "plans" that we make using "consultants" and if we actually execute the plan completely than we won't be able to hire "consultants" to make "plans" to "fix" the problems.
or so it seems.



Edit: Sometimes I wonder about the institutions who give out the degrees to people who cannot execute a written/illustrated plan.

It seems like it, but they should have put overlapping barriers in to force people to follow this.  I don't, but I wouldnt have a choice if it was forced.
