I used to live over in the lakes area. Fuck that whole place and its overpopulation for limited infrastructure. I can drive from here to what should be 2 minutes from my mom's house in 20 minutes, and then the last half mile takes 30 more minutes at rush hour. And they'll just keep cramming more subdivisions in there until there's nowhere else to stick them. And nobody wants to pay any taxes for anything so all the neighborhood roads are just crumbled piles of cheap asphalt that was only put down 10 years ago. But you can't beat the selection of half-empty strip malls.

A long time ago I worked out that way, and I entirely agree with that assessment. Even the people who moved there last week act like no one else should be allowed to live there. And of course they all got up in arms about the proposed expansion of Union Lake Road. Bunch of people living in denial.

I drove on Green Lake Rd in that area the other day. The condition of that road is an embarrassment.

Replaced a hub bearing assy on the Suburban that was making an awful noise. Gave it the post-repair torture test by driving down Green Lake Rd. They've done nothing to fix it at all, as opposed to Commerce Rd which had some nasty craters that they filled a couple week ago. I did notice, however, a new sign on Green Lake Rd warning of "Rough Pavement Ahead 1 Mile". By the time you see the sign you don't have any good alternatives unless you know how to snake through the subdivisions west of the road. I don't care if they're going to completely reconstruct the road this summer (just a hypothetical, no inside info) but c'mon, slap some cold patch down already. The dirt part of Lochaven is in better shape that some of these "paved" roads.

Our office is on a service drive of I-75 and the streets that lead from the access road into our parking lot are absolute shit. They were shit before winter came and are even shittier now.

The solution, finally, seems just as shitty. A crew has been dumping crushed concrete into the myriad gouges and such and that's all they're going to do. A nice steady rain should take care of that right quick.

The right lanes of northbound M5 at the railroad tracks near Pontiac Trail are torn up. Hope they reconstruct it so I don't get a concussion every time I drive over the tracks.

Industrial Rd in Livonia off Middle Belt is pretty brutal.

I have to say that the state, counties, and municipalities have done a pretty good job of backfilling the holes and repairing damage from last winter. I drive to work in the dark and there was a time when I'd cringe at the thought of all of the unseen holes that I was sure to hit after leaving my neighborhood. Today, in comparison to say March or April, is heaven.

I thought headlights were standard on all cars these days. I bet you're never going to buy a Saturn again.

It's not the headlights, it's that sleep mask he wears

Pontiac Trail is a pock-marked disaster.

All the people who have punted on funding infrastructure improvement should have to experience hitting a pothole and blowing a tire on Mt Elliott near Mack at dawn. I paid my "road tax" this morning.

That sucks. I blew a tire about the same time last year on Mt. Elliott coming from Hamtramck. Fun stuff.

I am probably not voting for their solution, though.

NB Woodward is a kidney-buster. Either that, or the bus driver deliberately hits every pothole at top speed.
