Anyone trying to either drive along Moody Street or cross Moody Street between Cerritos Ave. and Lincoln Ave. this week knows that the project to install a new median is not yet finished.
The north-south street has been reduced to a single lane for most of that distance for months due to chained construction projects following each other like cars in a freight train.
This week, construction barriers were removed and, for a short time, two lanes of traffic moved along smoothly on both sides.
That smooth flow ground to a crawl when construction crews blocked off lanes to lay a new surface, then to stick down temporary lane markers.
Today, a work crewman was out with an upside-down paint can marking the new black road surface with white crosses.
And, yes, a single narrow lane — this time the center lane — let a few long-suffering (or unknowing) drivers through.
The project is scheduled to finish by the end of the month.
That’s next Tuesday.
We can hope.

The biggest comment or observation, why was this INSANE project done in the first place? Was the road too WIDE? Or did the SEIU clods need work for their members to take care of the median? This looks like a make work project for deadbeats! Was it EVEN necessary? More blind leading blind touchy-feely stuff from politicians who DO NOT LIVE IN ANY FINANCIAL REALITY!
