About damn time, the road was fine to begin with...

maybe the standards are diff in green lake. it was an awful highway, and the 'rookie' corner was cause of so many accidents that people were about to revolt. the improvement for school turn-off is fantastic. fixing roads gives people jobs for now, and saves lives for decades. only selfish, short-sighted folks would whine about something so basic and sensible.

I live in Mazo, I don't know why it says Green Lake. I agree with the corner at Rookies and the school, but the whole 7+ mile stretch? Yes it does provide jobs, but they milk the shit out of it and make a 4-6 week project a whole summer ordeal. When I was growing up, my father worked in road construction, and I spent plenty of time in the truck with him. It can be done more efficiently.
