wtf richmond?!
 
why the hell is the city of richmond repaving the road section of no. 4 road
southbound between alderbridge way and westminister hwy?!
that section is like smooth without any bumps hump potholes cracks ditches
etc etc when compared to any other roads in rmd

y the hell r they repaving that section
if they are repaving they should repave the
section between westminister hwy and grandville ave.
that section of no 4 is the worst, its like boating in a car.
u go up and down up and down up and down in that stupid section.

i was wondering the same thing while I was sitting on my bike stuck in traffic there. I shouldn't have turned dammit.

they probably have $$ from the last year's budget that they have to spend, if they don't spend it and have a surplus, they won't get as much funding deticated to paving in next year's budget

doesn't the city share the budget though, or do you mean each district/section of the city gets their own budget? there are definitely places that could greatly benefit from repaving. i am greatly aware of how much repaving every lower mainland city needs, thanks to my coilovers

i suspect they could be installing traffic sensors, shallow telecomm cables, power lines, etc

no they put in some pipes and wires for that piece of empty space next to garden city between alderbidge and Westminster

hence the need to dig up the road and then repave it. Simple.

^what he said

probably some capital works being done

apparently, the soil there is very nice

just like wut they're gonna do with riverview - they will keep that whole area intact because its got such a nice and rare geography layout

like oooh woww and ahhh (*__*) nice soil and geography.... oooh if im a geologist now i'll have an orgasm

and fuck the road paving companies 95% of the time the road gets fucked up way worse then it was before those vile dipshits

you should see this one patch (where they dig for sewage?) in my neighbourhood, they just keep paving over the original bump... in a few years my car will get stuck when I'm forced to drive over it. A lot of people in the neighbourhood swerve around it :p

Meowjin 05-19-2009 07:35 PM

they redid my neighbourhood, 4 road and amethyst for no reason.

i culd be wrong, but isn't it an emergency airplane landing zone or something

Jer3 05-19-2009 09:45 PM

the secret to 4 rd is the right lane. its way less bumpy but you got to look out for the parked cars.
