  1. Is “Rebalancing Roadways” the new double-talk for ruining perfectly good streets with suspension and alignment-destroying bumps and the inability to turn left?

    Can’t build sidewalks or repave roads that cause safety issues, but we can sure come up with the money to put asphalt mountains on SE 42nd between Holgate and Woodstock, as well as on SW Corbett and SW Grover. On a Sunday, no less; when you’re likely paying overtime.

    Sounds like the next non-descriptive term in a long line, including “Safe Sound Green Streets,” “Boulevarding,” and “Traffic Calming.”
