Road construction plagues us all here in Miami. New roads that go nowhere. Highway resurfacing that never stops. Bridges that are always being repaired. Movie shoots closing down vital arteries for days at a time. Railroad closures conflicting with major events. Never a cop around to control an intersection when you need on.
I did some traveling this year and its funny how when you travel, traffic is never as bad as in your hometown. Is that because your town is the worst or because you just went on a good day. I am one of the 4 folks that take the local metrorail here in Miami. Never have I needed to stand ala New York City holding on for dear life as that wave of folks packs the car when its stops at the elevated station. Other than downtown, where exactly does this Billion Dollar transporation pork barrel project take you? I needed to go to the airport on a business trip and didnt want to pay outrageous parking fees. Lesson...dont rely on public transportation because it "dont go near there". Need to go to the main public university...better take a bus because it "dont go near there". How bout a trip to the home of the major sports team...sorry... unlike every other city in America you cant take the train to Dolphins Stadium. Every other park in America has rail or subway access. Boston fans will head over to Fenway on the subway, New York's D Train will get you to the Bronx. The L in Chicago will get out to Wrigley. What about Miami?
