Redux

The Watchdog, KC Star, November 8, page A6
"The poky little bridge project is nearing the final chapter"
 
"Sean Demory of Kansas City's Capital Projects Office, "but we anticipate reopening the structure in mid-November".  So that is KC's guess on Barry Speedway, let's peg it at 15 November, mid being middle and November has 30 days.


The Star highlights KC resident Bob Ashcroft's persistent questioning of when the BRB will reopen...and why the delay.  What's taking so long?  Demory..."Utility relocation issues caused the latest hiccup".  I guess comedy could always be an alternate career pathway...right?  (BTW, I have another idea for a body function analogy for Mr Demory, which has a more acrid smell.)

Reference Comments yesterday regarding criminals on the Speedway...I know residents are making their way to their homes during the mess (God help them)...but my observations include some (cars) with WL stickers who I know do not live on the Speedway, and others who I guess just can't resist the siren call of newly laid asphalt...mmmm, that petroleum smell.

Took the Bond bridge yesterday, very nice. What a structure. When did we start the Barry Road dig?

For what it's worth, the dust from the project has been absolutely unbearable for those of us living on Barry. It is truly distressing to see neighbors racing down Barry with fresh dirt on their tires trailing a strong cloud of dust. Please stay off Barry Road until the signs come down and it is officially open!!!
