More traffic...

As if there isn't enough traffic between the neverending job on the Homestead Bridge, and the construction on the Parkway East, wait there's more!

Now you can expect monstrous delays on the Boulevard of the Allies and the Birmingham Bridge.

Can someone tell me, are there like 10 Penndots that don't really talk to each other except through The Force??? How does the average human being consider the following: Boulevard of the Allies is a way in and out of Oakland. The Birmingham Bridge is a way in and out of Oakland. The Bates Street ramp is a way in and out of Oakland. Let's close roads off to an already congested area of the city not just one way, BUT THREE. I don't give a fuck if its the weekend or evening or whatever, it is still an inconvenience for the folks that work and live there. Why didn't someone say, hey, lets do one thing at a time and be considerate of the folks that live there. I won't say why it wasn't thought of, but it has something to do with the conjuction of one's head and one's own asshole.

In one of the articles about this pinnacle of stupidity, Dan Cessna says, "This will be a challenging year for motorists as they travel through out the region." You think so Dan??? You are a fuckin genius man. Thanks for showing the rapid decline of both print press at the Post Gazette and the average IQ at Penndot.

It defies logic, and shows you that any fuckhead can work for Penndot. Don't worry if you are a moron and have the common sense of Lemming , as long as you know somebody and can do something stupid, you can work for Penndot.

Here is the Wikipedia entry for common sense. Penndot folks, please begin your research here.

Amphitheater + Homestead Waterfront = MORONIC IDEA.

Everyone is touching themselves over this: The Amphitheater at Station Square is moving to the Waterfront in Homestead. Happy day. We're moving near the water and its beautiful, now cue the doves.

The truth is the opposite. If you thought trying to get in and out of Station Square is bad, whoever decided to put the Amphitheater in the Waterfront should get Syphillis. As a person who lives near the Waterfront, I can tell you that it is the worst planned project EVER. They must have thought it would be another Pittsburgh Mills (AKA piece of shit with stores no one has heard of) and that it would be used sporatically. Not true. Just about every store you can find in any big Pittsburgh Venue is there. Obviously Homestead's bumbling ass mayor and the council of idiots never took anytime to decide how much traffic would be impacted. They just saw dollar signs.

The bridge has been under construction for like 2 years. And if you drive on the bridge, you see it remain closed with people only working on it during an 9-5 shift. That bridge should be worked on ROUND THE CLOCK. God knows Homestead gets loads of taxes from the Waterfront. Where do they all go? Probably to overpaid contractors on the bridge who work 28 hours/week after breaks.

There are three ways out of the Waterfront, all as easily as accessible as the exit doors in Alcatraz. One is over a silly tressle that takes you to Kennywood. It enters a main road, so of course the moron Homestead engineer doesn't have the common sense to time the light correctly, so the line out of the Waterfront is always really long, and not a single car crosses on the main road while you sit...and wait...and wait. The second exit is across the train tracks. FOUR SETS of train tracks that is, where it is not too uncommon to have to wait for two trains to pass instead of one. And the last exit is onto that piece of shit bridge, where even with the return of four lanes sometime in 2040, traffic will still be horrendous. Take some of that tax money and put timers on the lights like one very innovative and hip foreign country did, divert those trains, and EXPAND THE BRIDGE WHILE YOU HAVE IT CLOSED OR FIRE THE USELESS CONTRACTORS.

What does Mayor Dumbdak of West Homestead say about it? "I don't care about the traffic. It means we're alive.'' Thank God this guy is like 80, he is very hip.

You don't care, Dindick, because you get extra tax money for it. But we do care, stupid. With the extra tax money, build a few more roads in and out, because its a problem already, and God knows how it will change after the "Amphitheater" takes hold. What can we expect from an idiot mayor who wanted to sell the naming rights of Homestead like it was a fuckin arena. Jackass.
