If you live in or around the Minneapolis/St. Paul area you may have noticed some road work. In fact, there are only a total of 11 streets inside the greater metro area that are currently not under construction.

Perhaps it was the lack of maintenance that had been done over the past years that set MN DOT into a working frenzy but one thing is clear. You cannot drive there from here.

In light of the new found exuberance from MN DOT I am going to suggest some new slogans for their consideration

MN DOT: Did you say something?

MN DOT: No Bridges down in 2008

MN DOT: You cannot get there from here.

MN DOT: Stay Home!

MN DOT: We have years of neglected work to catch up on.

MN DOT: We don’t care.

MN DOT: We can pay a ton of money and have a bridge built in just over a year.
