Construction in Peoria
Construction in Peoria is really bad. Every time I go out on the road I find myself having to enter into one lane because they are working on the other side of the road. When everyone is on one side of the road, the traffic tends to go a lot slower. Sometimes you do not even move and when you are by yourself, which most of the time I am, it tends to get really boring. What really bothers me the most is when they work on a street and they finish it, well you think they do, and then they go back like 3 days later and block the whole road again. When I am going to school, I leave at a certain time that I know I will get to class on time, but I always seem to run into construction somewhere that I have never seen before and it makes me late to school. This is just not once in awhile. It is every day. I am not saying construction is a bad thing, because we do need some stuff done, but I think they can find a way for traffic to not be so bad, or at least let people know where they are working so people who take their usual route can find another route to go. I always think War Memorial is done, so I always go that way but they are always working on it again. I do not get why they do not finish what they need to finish when they are there the first time. It gets really frustrating.

Ahh i hate the road construction too! Like you said also it is super boring when your by yourself. The road construction is so bad here it almost makes me not want to come to peoria to go shopping..that's pretty bad. Im lucky I don't have to drive through a lot of it to get to school though like some kid's. I think would drive me crazy!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree that construction is very bad right now. However, it always is better when they are finished. I do agree that it does get very boring and frustrating just sitting there.
ReplyDeleteCatie, What are some "solutions" to this problem besides posting construction information in advance? Do a little looking around and see how and why the state decides on certain projects.
ReplyDeleteI agree totally with you. I just went to the mall today and it almost took me twenty minutes from ICC to the mall. It's getting ridiculous, all this time and it is the same thing every day. It is very frustrating, I don't even want to waste my time going into Peoria just because of the construction. They need to figure out a better way to do this. Good point girl.
ReplyDeleteConstruction..i beleve that it is frustrating and boring..I know a construction worker and they siad that they have to do all the same thing and then go back and do the ohter things..I told him that it's crazy...But i do agree with u and they should do it all at one time..
