Read the Fort Worth Star-Telegram article about the bridge delay and the roundabout. We'll share Howie's comments with you below. They might just make your day.
And we have a question, WHY is the wakeboard park the first part of this project? How many lives will be protected from flooding by a wakeboard park? WHO asked for a wakeboard park? THE PEOPLE? THE VOTERS? Yeah, that's what we thought. Talk about going in circles...
Here's a good quote from the article, what's wrong with this picture?
The new Henderson Street bridge will not replace the one over the Trinity River. It will span a bypass channel that will be completed after the bridges are built.
"Howie's comment" -
From a future Startle-Gram newspaper:
"TRINITY RIVER VISION OPEN TO PUBLIC"
Fort Worth, TX --- The long awaited Trinity River Vision development was unveiled at a ceremony on Tuesday, April 5th, 2057, at the Kay Granger Memorial Roundabout, Mayor Mikey Moncrief, great grandson of former mayor Mike Moncrief, presented a key to the city to Granger's own great grandson, Grady Granger, Jr., who is president of the TRV project's board of directors. The project's final cost was $536 billion dollars. Cost to taxpayers was $500 billion. "It was well spent tax payer money," Granger gushed as he used a big fake pair of scissors to cut the ceremonial ribbon that stretched from one side of the roundabout to the other. Protesters, who were kept inside a pig pen one mile away as required by state law, demanded transparency and a federal investigation into waste, fraud and abuse of taxpayer money. "We're positive the taxpayers are getting their money's worth," Granger quipped while getting a high five from Moncrief III.
