I don't know what they're doing between us and the kids' school building, but this...well. There's construction starting, three properties down from ours, and there's four dump-trucks of gravel piled up in the flat part next to the road across the road from us. There's a small front-loader (a bobcat) trundling back and forth every ten minutes.
School starts back up next Wednesday.
Now, normally, I have plenty of time to get to the school to pick the kids up, but...this is...yeah. Couple days ago, they had the street down to one lane. And a guy standing in the middle of the road with a slow/stop sign dealing with through traffic.
That's on the direct route--the single mile between us and school. It also blocked Travis Acres (the side street that connects our east-west street with the one a mile or so south of us). That's turning west from the driveway.
If I turn east...I can go out to the next north-south road, then up a mile, over to the other north-south road, then up and around. That would be about four or five miles, going thataway.
In other words, I can make it, and make it on time, but I may need to figure in a few more minutes in the afternoons.
Why did they pick August to start this bullshit?
