Someone (I don't recall who was the project manager for this project) decided that the benefits of paving over the trolley tracks were worth the risk. That's the way risk works, sometimes an incident occurs and you hope the project manager has a built in risk mitigation plan so that the least amount of money is spent to take care of the problem. To be completely honest, the project managers with Transportation Infrastructure are actually quite good at what they do.

So complain away, if you will, but don't pretend that you're not ignorant of the facts.

I'm not ignorant of the fact that they've paved a road and now torn it up to remove the tracks.

Do you think this is a success? A wise decision? A good way to spend money?

I don't.

Now it's true, I'm not a personal friend of the goddamn project manager, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a mistake.
