Its a very strange confluence of planning, lack of planning and I dont know what the third bit is.
For instance, I have to go through Quarry Park on 24th and that road looks like it came straight out of downtown Berlin circa 1945 and its not that old!
But it leads to Glenmore. Lots and lots of big, heavy, loaded construction vehicles and its just been chewed all to hell. They patch it up from time to time but its brutal.
Its not a high speed road, but its like they didnt realize the weight and traffic it was going to have to endure.
