It would be a heck of a lot cheaper and more productive. Maybe the job would get done the right way too. And for those of you who say "the city doesn't pay the cops to work traffic detail, the construction company does"...did you ever think that the const co. includes those costs in their estimates/invoices and it IS actually the taxpayers of bristol that is paying for them?
