Have you been late to work this week? Have you felt as if you'd be better off ramping off of a pile of dirt like a Fast and the Furious movie to get to your destination? If so, you must be driving in Evansville!

The Evansville Planning Commission hard at work!

With new construction popping up every day, driving in Evansville has never been more frustrating! With construction in high-traffic area's such as Main St, St Joe, and the ever-changing-yet-never-getting-fixed Lloyd Expressway, you can guarantee that you'll be late for whatever you are trying to get to.

A big cause of this is that Vectren has been installing new gas lines. I assume they're installing solid gold pipes similar to those HDMI cables that Best Buy sells for $1,000 in order to rationalize being hella expensive. Now, not only can they have your way with your wallet, but they can also get you fired from your job for being late!

If it were just those streets, that would be bad enough. But nope, the entire downtown area looks like the aftermath of a Power Rangers monster attack.

The new convention center/hotel/super-expensive-thing-that-we-can't-afford-but are-building-anyway is being built which has caused the entire downtown area (where I work) to be navigated like a drunk Pac-Man. The other night I was trying to get to RiRa and was confronted with a closed street. I tried going a different way and was again greeted by a closed street. At this point, I looked around for Jareth the Goblin King or a minotaur to fight because I was in a f***ing labyrinth.

"This is exactly how I wanted to spend my night!"

Yeah, I know it might seem petty to complain about construction since everyone hates it, but c'mon, it's the middle of summer and people have places to be. Maybe Evansville should try to space out some projects or, GASP, leave well enough alone and stop trying to upgrade the Lloyd every year like the iPhone. Everyone keeps saying how great Evansville is becoming and how much progress we've made. And that's awesome. There have been a lot of great changes to Evansville. But hey, how about we finally finish building it so I can get to work without almost Grand Theft Auto'ing fifty construction workers?
