My gosh people! I could do the blasted path myself if I had the tools.

Nothing makes me think Mayor Logsdon is incompetent more than that stupid and expensive bridge just sitting there for 3 or 4 years.

How he kept from getting recalled is a mystery to me. Are there any leaders on the city council???

Vote Republican

This project has now gone way beyond ridiculous. I can't even fathom how many levels of incompetence have resulted in this 3 year delay. I am disgusted.

Just look what they've done to I-85 south right before the Hwy 74 exit. For some unknown reason, they have barrels in far right hand lane, that is an EXIT lane going to Hwy 74. The part they have closed IN WAY EFFECTS the work going on south of Exit 61.

as stated so well below.

THIS MORNING AT 10:17AM, HAD A BUCKET TRUCK #4200518 PARKED ON THE CART PATH NEXT TO THE CONTROLLER BOX? The same one that had two DOPES (yes, it is a common GDOT job classification-look it up-it pays about 80K a year with bennies)standing at the open controller box shooting the s**&% with each other. The fatter one turning toward the traffic to spit repeatedly on the ground every time he finished a sentence was the more attractive of the two. (I'm sure had the most seniority, also.) As I sat at the light watching this waste of money (how long do we sit at that light? I was the first one in line), not ONCE did either even look into the controller box, much less do any work. Since I had a few minutes to spare I went east on Hwy 54 and did a turnaround into the (now closed) Kroger pkg. lot and came back around onto 54 west to turn left onto Peachtree Pkwy again. Lucky me, the first in that line, too. The conversation was still going strong and more spit was coming out-very attractive, I must say. Then, the skinnier one stuck his head int the box and hit a switch and the lights went nuts and then went off and then we lucky ones in the left turn lanes on Hwy 54 got to sit thru a whole new cycle of red lights for the turn lane. More time to observe the do-nothing duo. Didn't bother me, but 3 cars in the eastbound left turn lane got po'd and laid rubber getting out of those lanes and going eastbound instead of waiting. I did a u-turn across from Ruby Tuesdays on the Pkwy cutout and came back to them two marvels of GDOT workmanship in the right turn lane. I called the skinnier one over to the car and asked him what his big mission was to be accomplished there before the weekend had come and gone. He had to repeat my question back to me since it was difficult for him to grasp having to explain verbally what on God's green earth he had been so technically trained to do. The answer--to replace the controller in the box. As I drove on my merry way, the time was now 10:29am. How long they had been eating up dead time on the clock before I got there, who knows. Boy, the old adage, how many GDOT employees does it take to screw in a lightbulb was right in front of me there....
Yeah, lets take another 6 months to make the HUGE decision as to whether to use stimulus money or GDOT funds to finish this now going on 3 year old unfinished eyesore. Be sure to promote these two DOPES a couple more times and give them cost of living raises while you're at it. Let's wait for pigs to fly, too.
