[Vision2020] alternative routes

[J Ford]

My ONLY query about this mess is:  Why do they always wait until just a 
couple of weeks before the students return to START these things?  Why not 
start it in May or June and go the whole summer so the major traffic influx 
can be smoother?

Not really a complaint, but rather a question of timing.  I am sure it has 
to do with contract dates, etc.  Just seems like they could work on that 
part of it better.

I am all for the working being done - it needs to be.
