We are well into the early construction and it moves apace. Things are on schedule, which is good. I also think that people are gradually adjusting themselves to the construction mentality. The lanes have been shifted over, and with the exception of a couple of unfortunate gas leaks, which snarled traffic on a few occasions, we have had pretty good success with the roadway. Traffic service levels are not terrible, all things considered. They try to coordinate the concrete pours for the hours when school is in session, so the rush before and after is avoided. Seems to be working OK so far.
But next fall, the road in front of the schools will be very restricted. My mantra, whenever I have the bully pulpit, has been to put your child on a bus. There is not a neighborhood in the area that is not served by a bus. If even every other child were put on a bus, that would reduce the traffic on Eagle Drive in half - instantly. Please, please - put your child on a bus. If you live near a child, encourage the parents of that child to put the child on the bus. Check out the illustration below. It's informative...
