Why do you think the City refuses to improve infrastructure? I got the feeling the City is in 'react' mode because they are the last to know. Fall semester comes and it is like, 'Oh, by the way, we've got 12,000 freshman in this years' class.' (And no I don't work for the City, but I live here) In the meantime, all of the construction vehicles from the Kyle Field renovation, to the hotel/garage to the massive apartments tear up the roads which unfortunately are maintained by both the City and TXDOT because they are FM roads. (TXDOT has a lot of hurricane affected roads to repair so they have a lot on their plate.) This construction brings $$ and jobs, but it does take its toll on the roads and the plans to redesign the traffic flow.
Not attacking you or anything, it is frustrating for those of us who live here too because the school grew so fast that the qualities that make Aggieland so enjoyable are playing catch-up to stay that way. I like for campus and the two cities to put their best foot forward and leave visitors and former students with the feeling of 'Wow! Great people, great place, this is the spirit of Aggieland.'
