The War on Error

Driver error, that is. KCMO has upped the ante on traffic control over the BRB. Dutifully replaced another platoon of Cones today (looks like lifetime employment to me), many already dead along side the road. New to the fray...large flashing signboards at Potomac and Barry and Mace and Barry (what about the Amity artery?). This should do the trick, motorists just didn't know it was one lane...gotta spell it out for em. A little bit late for my East side friends who braved the BRB to vote yesterday...thanks for your valor...you didn't bump any of our soldiers on the way, did ya?


Last night at the BOA, Mayor Bos said he has been told it will be 6 months until the bridge problem can be remedied...but then KCMO has said purchase of the right of way to do the work could take a year. Hmmm, us Westsiders better be prepared for the long haul. Hey don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger!

You know there is more to come.

What happened to good old barrels filled with water....seems those soldiers are a bit more stout and impenetrable....

Hmmm. Could it be that the weight of 10 barrels of water is enough to compromise the ricky bridge? Can't risk that, now can they? Or it might compromise their timelines!!!
