Parmer and Dessau as well. Evening traffic backs up, literally, a mile. Half hour, sometimes more, just to make it through this one light.

Parmer and 35, with the Dell/Samsung traffic, and Howard and 35 are a mess as well.

Whoever the traffic engineer for Travis County is, they should be fired. Then again, I think the same thing about most of the CAMPO board as well.

I don't know if you remember back the first time Austin voted on the light rail issue, that issue was talked about quite a lot. I used to listen to Sam & Bob in the morning on KVET, until Sam got me all PO'ed with his yellow dog democrat rants. They got their hands on a memo on Capital Metro's Letterhead that went to the city of Austin and TXDOT.

The "smoking gun" memo as they called it, instructed the traffic engineers to purposely keep the traffic lights out of sync, so people would vote for light rail. Too bad for Cap Metro that the rail issue was voted down TWICE by sensible citizens.

I just love to be in traffic behind the empty Cap Metro buses that seem to be so under powered, they can't pull their shadow. < /sarcasm>
