[Vision2020] Deakin decoys and traffic tangles

[Scott Dredge]

This is what happens when people fight against megaloads.  They wind up cutting off their noses to spite their faces.  Now EVERYONE is inconvenienced ALL OF THE TIME instead of just a very few travelers in the bewitching hours having to wait all of 10 minutes during their once in a lifetime off chance encounter of being on the same stretch of road at the extremely unlikely same time as a megaload.  <shaking my head>, <frowny face>, <'they just don't get it...they don't>.

Now that the construction equipment has been removed from the section of Deakin Street between the VandalStore and the administrative building formerly used as the Student Union Building, one may observe that a divider has been constructed in the middle of Deakin Street.  Not only will the divider leave less street width within which vehicles may operate down the street, they likely will do so at speeds reduced from those of roadways nearby.  Considering the amount of pedestrian traffic in this location, this is not necessarily an undesirable development.

One does notice, however, the construction of a couple of rectangular brick towers within the street divider between the buildings.  I don't know if there is a technical name for such constructions, or if they should be named to better identify them. Mutt and Jeff, Mork and Mindy, Amos 'n Andy -- who knows?

The question is whether the snow plow drivers whose services will likely be required within a few months will need special procedures and training to accomplish their jobs given the presence of these Deakin decoys for diversion, and perhaps other d-words, too.
