I hate #3 Road

Friggin #3 road.....do we really need all those little strips of curbs with little shrubs on it? And they are putting the automatic watering system every 10cm on every single one of those tiny little curbs.....

And watch all those watering thingy to be on when it's actually pouring rain outside too....

to make it better...

have you noticed that there are benches installed right beside sprinklers? they have built little concrete block thingies to have the benches bolted onto them...but then there are also sprinklers installed on both sides of the concrete...

its like...who the fuck would still want to sit on the benches when the sprinklers are going on...or even 10-30mins after they go off...the benches are fucking wet? @.@

Coz it looks pretty....?
They'll add anything possible with the most expensive materials just so that it'll go over budget. And then they'll tell transit to whine about not getting enough funding......

Lol. I remember driving into Parker place and I was like why the fuck would there be a small curb in front of the entrance way. My car has stiff suspension and oh man was that bad. I don't fully understand the curbs. At least make it flush with the road in front of the entrances. But at least they got rid of that stupid bus lane in the middle. That was retarded.

Anybody notice that in Richmond they repave roads that don't need paving but the roads that need paving they don't do anything about it?

Example : 4 Road between Alderbridge and Westminster. That didn't need paving but 4 Road between Westminster and Granville need major repaving.

Granville between Garden City and Gilbert. That also didn't need paving but Granville between 4 Road and Garden City need huge amount of work. It's like the person who put in the work order wrote down the wrong block.

Also 2 Road between Francis and Granville. Nothing was with that road.

It's the cities way of trying to take back the roads after the sudden influx of C-Lai's in big SUV's. They don't know what to do anymore with the city, its getting taken over by the plastic welding hat army.

lol... I live right in the block of no2 road and gilbert by francis. That road was FINE the way it was but they had to fuck up the traffic pattern there for a good 2 weeks for no reason. I'm assuming they repave No.2 Road because its one of the main connecting roads to Vancouver in prep for the 2010 Olympics.

I take No 2, Garden City or No 4. Never No 3 until they repave that sucker.

And never on Saturdays when the C Lais are out and about.

I rather drive further down and loop back, than to have to take #3 road at its finest. I remember driving from Richmond Pro (behind Vader) all the way to Parker Place and it took a good 30 minutes

That strip of No.4 Rd is a freakin roller coaster, no matter how your suspension is.

The worst road in Richmond hands down and has been for a couple years now with NO work done on it to fix it is Lansdowne Rd. between #3 and Cooney... holy crap... both lanes you can destroy your car on in front of that stupid Versante building... what a joke... worse than 3rd world country roads
