Airport Road Project Update
Councilman Denis Pitman passed this along:
Please consider this notice a three-day advance notification of our intent to begin construction on the roundabout section of the Airport Entrance. Expect activities to last at least eight weeks. On Monday June 1st, 27th Street will be narrowed down to two lanes (One in each direction) near the top of the hill to facilitate installation of the box culvert for the multi-use path. The East Bound Ramp from Airport Road to 27th Street will be closed, and traffic will be routed to the 4-way stop. General clearing and removal activities will begin in the vicinity with excavation to the new subgrade to follow. Traffic routes within the area will be constantly changing, so motorists need to be aware of, and follow signs and channeling devices.
Other related work will be as follows:
Terminal Circle travel lanes will be narrowed down near the Museum through the main entrance to the airport. Expect delays and slower speeds while entering and exiting the Airport Terminal.
Retaining Wall work will continue at both ends of the Airport entrances.
Sidewalk crews will be working in the Airport Road /Alkali Creek Road area. Bridge work will continue at Alkali Creek Road.
Please use alternate routes whenever possible.

I get shivers whenever I hear directions like these. Is this exercise some form of training for when our medical care system is to be taken over by those who know better? Maybe neo-gnostics might be an appropriate term for them?
Kens last blog post..Where Did All The Sunspots Go?
I approached this airport roundabout from the Heights at night a few evenings ago. If I pretended I didn’t know about roundabouts I could have easily turned left into the flow of traffic in order to go downtown. Is this a good thing?
