It amazes me with unemployment so high we can’t find a local or at least an in state company to do the “proposed realignment” of Manson Pike/Gresham Ln. It’s even more sad that this intersection was just completed 3 years ago and must be replaced at the tax payers expense. If someone made an expensive mistake like that at work, they’d lose their job. Who made this short sighted decision 3 years ago?

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the vast majority of the $6 million to "correct" issues that could have been done properly with adequate planning way backe when they widened MCP? If anyone knows of a more inept roads planning dept in the world, please speak up.

You're right - who couldn't see this coming? Four lanes chokes down to two lanes on Manson pike about 1/8 mile from a major interstate, with tons of traffic coming from or going to the two lane area. Wow...

I agree with all above comments. Government bureaucracy at its worst.

Half the cost will most likely be for traffic clogging redlights and cameras like the rest of the Boro

Macgyver- The "Councel" does not care about the unemployment rate unless it effects one of them, and they don't care how much of my or your tax dollars they waste. Yet, these are the same people that will look you in the eye and tell a bold faced lie about how much they care about this county, our state, and our people.

Boo, I've heard that same speach from Dave Edwards. He told me how creating revenue was the goal of the people to build a bigger, better Murfreesboro. He wouldn't know what the people want, he only talks with the elite or those looking for development funding.

You can thank our wonderful planning department. THe same people who approved the designs for the Target and Home Depot parking lots/roads. How much more of this inadequate planning can we afford. I would hope that they would have planned a little more into the future when designing these roads. It would have cost 2-3 million at the time they initially built this road to make it 5 lanes, now it will cost over 6 million. I agree, someone should lose their job. THey would with any well run corporation. And yet they wonder why our city is out of funds. It also shocks me that an out of state company will be doing the work. I guess that means all of the payroll, employment, and revenue taxes will go back to KY as well. Thank You city leaders..
