    " Why doesn't the city plan better for these improvements? Year after year they start these projects around school zones just as school is about to start. It just adds to the congestion in these areas and creates an unsafe environment for the children. I'm sure the planning of these improvements is done way ahead of time. While planning these inprovements I feel closer attention should be paid to school zones and when the school year starts and ends. "
