I've been scratching my head lately too, regarding the apparent 'make work' programs I've seen around town. My dad lives in the south end, just off James McKevitt. Two years ago, they built the other half (the northbound two lanes), then 6 months later, they tore it up & installed some kind of water or sewage line underneath it. WTF? A perfectly good, brand new road gets torn up within 6 months of its original construction because what? No planning?
Now, they are tearing up a bunch of curbs around his house. Curbs that my untrained eye saw as just fine. No cracks, no crumbling. The neighbourhood is pretty new. Meanwhile, many of the inner city streets are pothole riddled. Go figure.

Oh man. I live there.
That road was built 1 year, and torn up for 3 straight years after that.
Un-freaking-believable.
They do the same with intersections. 1st year, 4 way stop. then lights. Then woops we forgot the wheelchair ramps. Then woops we forgot the something, because they rip'em up again.
