The point is that the teeny little barriers they're installing which are supposedly adequate for cyclists' safety are far less protection than the massive buffer they have as protection while installing them.

It's not about blaming the people doing the installation, it's about highlighting the government's hypocrisy when it comes to cyclist safety.

I don't think people around here do like roads very much

Actually, they should: they should move the bike lane over during construction instead of closing it entirely.

Republican?

Yeah, the Crocs really seal the deal.

yeah I can't imagine someone who does this for a job would carry a claw hammer. or that it would take so many people to bolt down each pylon. like I dunno maybe one or 2 to drill the holes, one to install and bond the studs, one to bolt the pylons down, and a traffic guy in each direction.

They seem to have four people working on poles, two more prepping/measuring, one person providing assistance between groups and one other person providing traffic safety and moving the generator.

Certainly on person could install these poles but it wouldn't be as safe and not nearly as quick.

Three fewer than if you were installing Austrians.

That many people would sure help if you have two miles off poles to install.
