I'm driving around 2818 this morning and am greeted by a huge wall being erected between the never-ending road construction and apartments on the inside of the loop. To me it seems like a $20 solution for a 50 cent problem. I'm used to seeing these kind of walls along major interstates through Dallas and Houston but farm road 2818?

They want to block out the traffic noise from 2818 so the students in those apartments, who already have earbuds in 24/7, won't be bothered by said traffic noise

That farm road ain't no farm road anymore. The new super street set up will look more like a highway with feeder roads.

Well those apartments sit very close to the highway where multiple ton vehicles will be travelling at speeds of 50mph+ so the walls are being put up so that in the event of a traffic accident there is a barrier to keep people from having a car come through their wall and kill them in their sleep.

With the added benefit of sound dampening, of course.

This is an odd thing to get worked up over. Sound dampening is pretty common along major roads

This is more the reason than sound. Safety with sound dampening as a benefit

Around the 1:50 mark is when Crompton goes on his global warming tirade.

Everyone in Texas that is cutting and hauling limbs and trees taken down by the ice storm would probably like him to come assist.

What I'd like to know is how much money are they going to spend putting artwork on those walls?

They didn't want to raise taxes in 2009…

Not so much now, and we all see their idea of a "needed fire station"…
