Description

There is a road construction going on and off for many weeks on Faulkner Dr. (It's slowly moving from Woodcreek Dr. toward Frost Dr.).

This has created numerous problems in the area, most, if not all due to the lack of diligence on the construction crew.
1. First, for many weeks there were loose gravel and debris on Woodcreek Dr., several hundred yards (all the way to Waterford Dr.) from the actual construction site. So, as you drive on Woodcreek, you get all that garbage beating on the bottom of the car.
To be fair, they did clean up at the end of the day, but driving day time was like driving through a construction site, even though it was some 3 blocks away.

2. They do not post signs that the road is close (and at times it is effectively closed).
E.g. today, I was driving from Woodcreek Dr. toward Frost Dr., and the crew was working between Finney Cir and Frost Dr. One have of the pavement was lifted and blocked by the crew and the machinery, while the other half was freshly laid, and still sticky. One of the crew members was some 50-70 ft. in front of the site, giving gestures to slow down.
He directed me to drive through that still sticky pavement. I just had new tires installed 3 days ago, and I that staff ruins tires. I had to drive back to Stonebrook Dr., Rock Prairie Rd. and back to Bird Pond Rd.
Because of that, my kid was late for the sports class.

3. This construction has been going for enormous amount of time. The heavy machinery is coming all the time and they are not always the most courteous or careful. E.g. this morning, I had a dump truck that was tailgating my car, while I was driving on Woodcreek Dr. at the speed limit (30 mph).

4. Further down, the pavement was removed from Frost Dr. (between Faulkner and Bird Pond Dr.) and no work was going there for weeks.

Could you please,
a) make sure that there is a proper signage and diversion of traffic when the work is in effect, and improve overall safety
b) post the period of the road work so that people are aware (how many months?)
c) complete the work on Frost Dr. ASAP?
