What the...?
I know Edinburg is growing at a hypersonic speed, but this is ridiculous. Talk about putting the cart before the horse.
For those of you who do not recognize this marvel of suburban progress, this is the scene at the intersection of Freddy Gonzalez Drive and Mon Mack Road here in the three time All America City of Edinburg. I noticed this a couple of days ago and snapped a pic for all you non-believers.
How does such a thing happen?
I've thought about the rationale for this and whittled it down to an odd, yet heart felt, attempt to stop a drunk driver, because if you know one thing Edinburg has, and all of Hidalgo County for that matter, it's drunk drivers. Like those orange barrels are going to make a difference. Notice the flattened traffic cone...Please!
Residents in that area beware! Your A/C will be shutting down soon and the odds are it will be sometime after midnight on a weekend. And one more word of advice, don't advertise your garage sale or weight loss solution on the poll either. You wouldn't want to be a respondent in the sure to come lawsuit.
I'm sure that the persons responsible will get it moved soon. Hopefully before a school bus slams into it, but it's going to leave on hell of a pothole that will recur for decades to come.

What the ....? I agree I will look in to this ASAP! I know this area is under construction, but do think utility post should have been moved first. Thanks for the heads up.
Edinburg Rocks,
Just got off the phone with city engineer. Seems that the developer did this on his own. We are taking proper steps as I type this post. City crews are on the way. (its 3:15 on Sat.) I will also take a drive out there.
Who actually had the nerve to put up the flat cone? The same thing happened a few years ago on Alberta by McColl.
What a bunch of idiots. Those people developing need to meet all requirements. Their always trying to cut corners.
Thanks Gene. I didn't mean to put you out on a Saturday, especially since you're in need of golf practice. I guess the next step is finding out how to keep this from happenening again.
No trouble at all! This problem has come up before in the same area. We are going to look into why this is getting past our eyes. Golf game is getting better, I think.
I've added your blog's feed to SpinRGV.com. I hope you don't mind.
Don't mind at all. Thanks for reading my crap and putting me in "the show."
While we're on the subject of goofy city projects, what's the deal with the police station?
I noticed the new city hall "palace" is going full blast but the organization that protects it's citizens is mired in a pile of bureaucratic do-do. What a joke!
How about putting a stop to the "palace" until the police station is completed?
I can already hear the excuses from the those in charge. It's not our fault. It's the contractor, it's the architect, it's the lawyers or maybe the janitor's at fault.
Just a thought from an interested citizen.
