Yesterday I found myself on Hawthorne St for the first time in a long while. I knew of the curb extensions at the Prince Albert Rd end as I had seen pics of damage done to the newly installed traffic light poles back in the spring when a box truck could not complete a successful right turn at the newly-narrowed bumped-out intersection. Now it has been graced with Austin-Approved (TM Regd.) speed bumps as well.

Your tax dollars pissed away at work!
