Honestly, I have to call big f-ing deal on this fiasco.

A couple more blocks west is nothing, traffic still can't go west to mopac.

All the while, runners (like me) on the town lake trail are being screwed for another 3 months. As it is right now, the stupid detour signs tell you to cross the street where there are no pedestrian signals, and really no right-of-way as there is always traffic which has a green light on CC where you are supposed to cross. Runners have made their own way, by necessity, across the construction areas and crossing S 1st street, again with no crosswalk or signal. Now, they have it even worse as there is 2 way traffic should they opt for the "official" detour jumping north of CC... or more traffic going south on 1st (with potential left turners from westbound CC traffic) if they opt for the unofficial (but currently safer) route.

Total clusterf*, awful, I'd say the worst run city project if I weren't so sure that there were going to be many more...
