Tired of this ####. I now go through the Beltline to go eastwards.

I can never tell if you are being facetious. HAHA.
But I will assume you are not. Just seems wily nilly and I do appreciate reopening those lanes for that month at a time, just seems bizarre and quite impacting.
I wish every major project had an initial cost estimate and an initial finish date posted and transparent, then updates along the way (not daily or anything) but a new forecast date and cost, like everyone on earth has to do with their own projects. (maybe there is that already).
Could very well be justified, found work, damaged equipment, garbage contractor, availability of materials equipment, cost overruns, personnel issues.
Has anyone ever done a cost per person hour of traffic impact for calculating some sort of cost to impacting the public. Obviously for public works it does not matter, but for adding an A&W drivethru lane that requires a 2 lane shut down for 6 months or somthing like that.
Is there a calc that takes average person hour worth of time, multiplied by expected impacted people and measured against the value of the project then a cost to the business to pay for that impact?
