MidTowner, I guess I have two responses:
1. That's telling me 'why' the decision was made. But doesn't change my point that its a bad decision.
2. I'm not just talking economically. I'm talking actual health outcomes - and even more than that - I'm talking about actual 'direct' health outcomes. If we were able to reproduce this construction situation thousands of times and test a complete road closure with long detour vs a non-road closure I believe there would be more dead people with the long detour because of accidents caused by more driving.
