From "Diamond Dave" road to Lucy's problems with roundabouts, this is not a complaint about potholes. Our street complaints are much dumber than that.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vordiez saw the headline, this one from k e
TV News Watch seven. It said the new traffic pattern
has drivers confused, and I said, they've got to be
talking about one hundred and ninety second in Dodge. Now,
it's not on Dodge. You're if you're racing at one
hundred and seventy five miles per hour like everyone else
up and down Dodge, you don't experience this. But once
(00:21):
you go down into the bowels of one hundred and
ninety second Street in West Omaha and want to head
south one hundred and ninety second, you were in the
Diamond Diverge Interchange, the DDI. It's the first of its
kind in the metro and it's something where if you've
(00:46):
done something like travel and you've been in other communities,
it's weird because there's some towns that suddenly you're just
driving down the road like we all experience around here,
like OK, hey, the street goes this way, and then
suddenly you're like, I, I don't know what happened? Am
I In the Bermuda Triangle, it looks like I'm driving
(01:09):
into oncoming traffic suddenly, like this lane is going way
over here. I feel like it shouldn't do this, And
then there's cars turning this way and I don't know
where I'm going. I'm just gonna follow the guy in
front of me and hope he knows what he's doing.
The chances are he doesn't. And that's what we have
now at one hundred and ninety second and Dodge the diamond.
(01:30):
Why why in the world, what is different about one
hundred and ninety second that needs to be so stupid
different than two hundred and fourth and one hundred and
eightieth and one hundred and sixty eighth and one hundred
and fifty six. I can keep going. I can.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I don't know if it was the landscape there, but
they did get a lot. There were a lot more
crashes in that area than at some of the other intersections.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
And there's going to be more now because you got
traffic coming at each other.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Right nowogists for this diamond. I do not agree with roundabouts.
I do not like these. I wish they'd all go away.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I don't well, I don't have a problem with roundabouts.
Am I the only person that doesn't care. It's not
about a roundabout.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
It's not that the roundabout is such a hassle. It's
that you get into them with people who have no clue.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
What's so hard about it. If there's a car coming
at you, then it's not your turn to go.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Well, a logical person would say.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
That, well, how hard is this?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
We have a lot of illogical people on the wad.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
We've got plenty of four way intersections with stop lights,
and no one stops right. You know. I'm right now
teaching my son how to drive. He's fifteen, and he
knows when we're at an intersection and the light turns green,
the first thing he does is to guess, is not
go the light turns green. If you're the first one
(02:51):
through the intersection, the first thing you do is look left,
then right, then left then right.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
And the people behind you are honking no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
You can do this quickly. He's a good scanner. He's
a basketball player, you know, he's a quick scan And
then you go. You have to because there's people that
are like, ah, these intersections and the traffic lights are
a mere suggestion for someone like me. I am much
too important to stop at a red light. I have
to keep going. Why look up from my phone? So
(03:24):
the roundabout is if someone's coming at you from the
left and you only have to look one way, and
they're coming around, or they seem to be coming around.
You're like, are they gonna keep coming and impede my
flow into the roundabout? Let me just take a pause
to see yep, they are okay, I'll wait and I'll
go on behind them. The roundabout is not hard. People
(03:46):
get so mad at roundabouts, but the roundabout at least
makes sense. Where you're driving down straight down your lane
and then suddenly you're cutting across at a forty five
degree angle, where on every other street in town that's
where the traffic is coming at you. That seems like
a bad idea, but that's that's the Diamond Diverge interchange
(04:12):
one hundred and ninety second and Dodge on one hundred
ninety second. Again, it doesn't impact Dodge. Story here from
k E TV talks to a driver named Levetti says,
I drive through here a lot quote it's terrible. Honestly,
it's like a maze and you don't know where you're going.
I'm just I'm just trying to go to the buffet.
(04:36):
That's the only reason I go this way. But it's
a mess unquote. I'm just trying to go to the buffet.
What buffet? I pardon my ignorance, what buffet is at
a one hundred and that's the other thing. They said, Well,
we have to accommodate the growth of this area at
(04:57):
one hundred ninety second in Dodge. It will grow, but
it's not now. There's not a lot. You've got the
fountain out there, and you've got a business, and you've
got uh, there's a great new church over there that
just opened up for Easter, and it's a it's a
nice area. But and of course you got the auto
(05:17):
dealerships on the other side of the street. Where's the
Am I missing out on a great buffet and one
hundred and ninety second and Dodge? Because I need to
know that. I'm looking at my map search restaurants in
this area. Are you off the phone, Lucy?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
All right? Are there? Is there a buffet restaurant at
one hundred and ninety second and Dodge? Because this driver says,
I just go through this area to get to the buffet.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
One hundred and ninety second and I don't, gosh, I
don't think so. I have not been on a been
on one hundred and ninety second in a while, it's.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Really not much in the way of restaurants in that
whole area.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Well, I mean it's it's building up.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
I know it's and it's going to which now I'm
gonna argue against my Really, I'm not arguing that they're
doing there. When they're doing all this infrastructure work out there,
that streets included, they're looking at the long term growth
of the area, which is amazing because at no other
(06:22):
point do we ever seem to do that. Let me
give you another example. One hundred and fifty six then Ida,
so northwest Omaha, forget it, don't even drive over there.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Want not so much closed.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
What it's all closed. The whole intersection is closed, and
it's going to be closed forever for the most of
the rest of the year. Now, one hundred and fifty
six an Ida. That intersection, when there's a lot of traffic,
is a night amer because it's a four way stop,
and if you're going especially northbound, it's there's a whole
(06:59):
long line of cars and there's just enough cars come
in the other direction, I guess, especially if you're going
westbound and taking a left there, then you've got cars
coming there, so it makes everyone wait. And wouldn't it
be better to have a a right turn lane or
around about there to keep that traffic flowing through there,
or at least a turn lane for you to be
(07:22):
able to turn off and go eastbound at one hundred
and fifty six and Ida. And the reason why the
intersection no longer meets the needs in the area is
because there's new schools. And you got the new high
school with YMCA Omaha West views out there, and then
you got another school and some other businesses coming up
on the northwest part of that intersection. And here's the thing.
(07:44):
Everyone knew that these schools and businesses and neighborhoods were
going in long before this became a problem. And as
they're over here building the school and over here building
that school in this neighborhood, didn't anyone say, perhaps, before
(08:04):
all these things are open, well, it's less inconvenient for
people out in this corner of the world. Maybe we
also now shut down the intersection and we can get
it all done in one shot. Did anyone think that,
Oh golly no, why would anyone do that? So at
(08:24):
least at one hundred and ninety second in Dodge. They're saying, well,
we're doing all this now so that when we have
all the growth out here in this little corner of
the world, then it'll all be great. Except I think
people are going to be crashing into each other because
people already crashing into each other and without the angled
crossing movement of a diamond divergent interchange.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Well what well, there you go a little bit further
north of there at one hundred and Blair high Road
Highway three three. Sorry, they're building seven hundred units there
now whether they would be there's gonna be. Some of
those will be apartments, obviously it's not remember for seven hundred,
Well maybe there is.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
About all that.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
More traffic is another thing. I grew up in Omaha,
and I think I mentioned this to my wife the
other night because she asked if I wanted to I
don't remember. I wasn't really listening. Do I want to
eat something or do something? And I said, honey, here's
(09:31):
the reality. If this isn't something that I did or
ate before the year two thousand, I'm not interested. I'm
just not hardly I'm not interested in whatever, Like I
don't know what that is, and I don't want it.
And so I say that relating to traffic growing up
(09:54):
here in Omaha, pretty much the grid of these three
north and south of Dodge and these numbered streets go
in this direction. This makes sense to me, this is
this is my comfort zone. But the city has grown
since I learned how to drive and got my driver's
license in nineteen ninety two, and occasionally I have to
(10:16):
go outside the grid. And even though I don't live
too far from this area we're talking about out there,
the Blair high Road and all that, I still there
are some parts of Omaha you get into on the
north side where I don't have any idea. It's like, oh,
(10:38):
this is Blair high Road, and then there's also Military
and the Sorenson Parkway, and then and there, well Fort
could go any number of directions and then stop and
then leave you at that intersection going I think I'm
pointed the other way. I don't know which way to
go anymore. And then you've got there's another one out there,
(11:00):
another parkway or Blair high Road. I almost had it
by Northwest, by Northwest High School. There's another one, winning off. Yeah,
well there's winning Off Crown Point there's Crown right cround point. Yeah,
and then and uh, then you get into like then
(11:20):
military pops up again, and then there's Radial and then
you come up on Benson. Do they not want us
to drive into Benson anymore?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I think so, because that whole area.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Of Maple was closed for construction just east of seventy
second Street, and then it opened for a minute and
a half and then they said, I, we're closing it again,
and I guess that we're just not supposed to go
into Benson anymore. I haven't known who's playing at the
waiting room all year, because everyone like once every three months.
I'm like, oh, I want to see that act. Well,
(11:53):
I don't know. Now.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I think your wife's just been hiding those posts from you.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Could be So I'm just saying that, what, why can't
we just just grid it out, grid it out without
diamond lanes and traffic that suddenly starts going at an
angle and cutting across here and there. I just I
(12:19):
like things, how I like them.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
You're old, Get off my lawn.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I know.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Now. I'm the same way I told the guys this morning.
My goal at this point, Yeah, at some point in
my life when I retire, I will move to a
nice small city like Omaha used to be in lower taxes.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
But I want to I want to live here, and
I I do. I do. I admit sometimes I think
because I'll go to a smaller community in the area,
and I'll think, you know, I love the idea of
kind of living out. I don't want to be up
by myself and country. I need people I can bother,
and I like the idea of living in a smaller community.
(13:08):
And the only thing that stops me from doing that
is the thought like I'm just gonna run to the
store and grab something real quick, see you in forty
five minutes. Like I don't want that. I love the
convenience of being in the city, but.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
You can be in another city that has that convenience.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
That is not talking about I'm not talking about. I'm
talking about really small like some of these neighborhoods that
are off the beaten path of even some of the
small town.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, but not for long. Yeah, if they're close to Omaha,
it's not for long.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Yeah. But by the time that gets that would get
any bigger, I'll be dead.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
I'll be dead.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
I'll be dead, and it'll be someone else's problem. That's
a cheery way to end this segment. I love this
email to see this is what I'm talking about with
some of these streets, and my if you just joined us,
my complaint was, I learned how to drive here throughout
the nineties. I got my license back in the eighties,
(14:05):
but I learned how I'm kidding. I learned how to
drive in Omaha as a teenager throughout the nineties. So
if the city of Omaha has grown beyond that time,
I don't like to venture out that way because I
don't know where some of these streets grow. And we're
talking about there's Blair high Road that goes into Sorensen,
(14:28):
which goes into Fort, which cuts over to Military and
then Fort runs out, then Military becomes Radio, and I'm like,
I don't know. Now, I know the radio and all
that that is original Omaha, but you know I could
navigate like Military into Radio into Saddle Creek for that.
(14:49):
That's part of the original. It wasn't the grid, but
I was able to navigate it because I liked going
to radio hall. Back in the day, they would have
the the record and tape shows where a bunch of
people is set up card tables and they would you
could go in there and get like bootleg concert tapes?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Was that by One Eyed Jacks?
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I don't know what that is.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
It used to be a bar there I used to have.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I'm talking. I was seventeen. I wasn't going to a bar,
so I don't know about one. But I know Radio
Hall had a lot of really great stuff. So it
used to One Jack used to have what the One
Armed bandits nothing? But the casino had nothing that you
said it used to have.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Well, no, you didn't want to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
No, no, I no, I I want to.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
We're just acting like all pious that you never entered.
I never darkened the door of a bar before twenty one,
because I don't believe that. There isn't anybody listening that
believes that.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
It's technically not true.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
But I trying to find the place you were talking about.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Radio Hall. Didn't you ever go to Radio Hall?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Is there a big sign on it right now that
says radio Hall?
Speaker 1 (15:59):
No, it's gone.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Yeah, So I don't know it was there, I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
And you didn't grow up far from there, And I'm saying,
was your a little kid? You didn't go to Radio
Hall for the various community events they had there. But
you're hanging out in a bar.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
No, because it had the drive through part of the bar,
and we were in the car sometimes when my father
would stop to pick up some yeah, delicious streets at
the bar for himself.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Chris says Scott akfab dot com. Can we talk about
how ridiculous HWS Cleveland Boulevard is?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Not only is the name stupid.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
It goes seventeen different directions.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Yeah, for like forty miles, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
For north, all the way to south. Yes, we can
talk about that, and I think we just did. Yeah.
I don't know what the it's the HMS. Pinafore, what's
it called hw S Cleveland Boulevard?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Too much? There's too many words and letters in there, right.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Just how do you get to your house? You take
a left on HWN and I forget it. I'll stay home.
Am I supposed to know what that is? This email
says I live near Crown Point Avenue and these traffic
engineers laid the wood to us a few years back
without even any public notice. They narrowed Crown Point from
(17:30):
four lanes to two and installed four count of four
roundabouts between seventy eighth and Blair High Road, a distance
of less than a mile. Apparently everyone was getting from
seventy second Street to Blair high Road. Military see which
road is it? Too quickly and efficiently? There are houses
on Crown Point and have their driveway entrances in the roundabout?
(17:53):
Is that true?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
What?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
He might be slightly exaggerating, but maybe not. I don't.
I don't know, I don't.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
How could that couldn't even be legal?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
This email says the two main causes of traffic fatalities
are red light running and speeding. Roundabouts stop both of them.
I love them. There's someone who loves a roundabout.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
That's great.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Well, that's the other great thing about a roundabout. If
you if you're coming up on one and really get
a lot of speed, you can jump over the middle
of the roundabout because usually it's a slightly angled curve,
some dirt without a lot of trees and stuff in
the middle of it, so you can you can ramp
over that thing like evil canievel and catch some sweet air.
Scott Voice News Radio eleven ten started off the hour
(18:49):
here talking about the new Diamond Diverge interchange on one
hundred and ninety second underneath Dodge. Out there, it's the DDI,
the Diamond Diverge Interchange, otherwise known as the Diamond Dave Interchange.
It's you might as well jump go ahead out there.
(19:11):
How do I get How do I get to that
that church? Well you take Dodge to one hundred and
ninety second and then you head south on Panama, and
if you're hot for teacher, you'll go through the Diamond
Dave Interchange. So are you writing this down?
Speaker 2 (19:30):
We don't have a Panama.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
I'll wait, I'll wait. It's another Van Halen title from
the Diamond Dave era, and then you find yourself right there.
We don't have a Panama, Well we should.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Then Jamie's crying, Oh, yes.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
What's the what's the name of that awesome guitar solo
instrumental that goes into girl you really got me? Now
you got me? So I don't know what.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
I'm I don't know the name of the endwers.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Oh, I love that explosion or something like that. It's amazing. Anyway,
that will throw that reference in there as well, if
I can, if I can think, No, I think it's eruption.
I think it's eruption goes into you really got Me.
That's a fantastic piece of van Halen music, early van Halen. Anyway,
(20:23):
we've talked about that, and then we're talking about roundabouts.
Lucy says she hates roundabouts. Got this email says roundabouts suck.
Chevy Chase is with you. Lucy signed Travis the Mailman,
and then he also puts into parentheses European vacation, just
(20:46):
in case I wasn't familiar with the eighties movie reference,
which of course I am. Look kids, big Ben Parliament.
I can't get over in the other way. Thank you
very much for that eighties movie reference. Look at I
still say that, by the way, in just about any
time I'm going around around about. Look, k it's big
(21:06):
Ben Parliament.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Do they get it anyone?
Speaker 1 (21:12):
No, it's I say this to myself in the car
when it's just me.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Oh pretty much, that's weird.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Yeah yeah. This email on the double divergent Diamond Diamond
Dave interchange, Bob says, if you think the double divergent,
it's a diamond divergent. If you think the diamond is fun.
Now this is where you've got lanes. You know how
lanes go you know, straight, and don't suddenly angle off
(21:40):
into what seems like where the traffic would be coming
directly at you. These lanes don't do that. It suddenly
angles off and there's cones everywhere. And I'm like, why
couldn't Why couldn't we just go how traffic goes? Why
do we got to do all this? But Bob said,
if you think those are fun, now, just wait till
(22:02):
it snows or there or there's a power outage.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Yeah, there's no just stopping and letting the next cargo.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
You know who has a lot of those weird like
sudden diamond swerve angle things. Uh, Springfield Branson area. You'll
be heading down to the lake or down to Brans
or whatever, and you got to go there's a little
jog you go through, like around Springfield, and suddenly it's
just like I think I'm going to crash into everybody
(22:34):
in this town. The lanes just start going all whack
a doodle.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
I don't think I've seen that.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Oh, several people pointed out I did screw up. I
do gotta check my facts, fool, You're right. I'd said
that they closed the whole intersection, and I said, one
hundred and fifty six an Ida. That is wrong. One
hundred and sixty eight eight an Ida.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Well, I didn't. I didn't catch that because there is
also a bunch of nonsense going on at one hundred
and fifty six.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
One hundred fifty six in state. You've got a little
nonsense there. But one hundred and fifty six then Ida
is just it's it's it's a little silly in the
morning when if you are in that area when school
like people are like, we got to take our kids
to school, and students got to get to school, and
other people are like, and I'm going to the YMCA
(23:32):
at the same time when everyone else is going to school,
and that it gets a little choked in that area.
But it's one hundred and sixty eight an Ida that's
closed down because someone said, Hey, we're building all this
new stuff out here, should we also shut down the
intersection and fix it up before people are driving through here. No,
(23:52):
let's open everything up for a while and then close
it all down when it's most inconvenient.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
HM.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
So you're right, I was screwing that up, and I
checked my facts fool. By the way, he was back
on KFAB yesterday, I heard Ben Gray on with Crispy.
Crispy Chris P is filling in for Emery this week
two to six until Emory is back from his pub
(24:20):
culture publication. Yet, No, he's still I saw a picture
of him.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
You're amazing trips.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Biking around Amsterdam right now. He may never come back.
Looks like he's having a great time. We're expecting him
back on Monday. Chris P is in there. He talked
to Ben Gray yesterday. It was good to hear the
former and potential district to councilman back on the radio.
But I kept listening. I wanted him to get mad
(24:48):
and start yelling at Chris P. But he didn't. That's
Ben Gray when he was in the city council yelling
at some constituent and it became a rally cry on
this radio show. When I get something wrong, Ben Gray
yells at me to check my facts. Fool.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Has he ever asked you about this?
Speaker 1 (25:09):
No? No. The only time that I know that Ben
Gray was ever mad at me was he was among
the votes when he was on the council for I
don't I honestly don't remember. I think it was just
(25:30):
about like a public accommodations when it comes to restrooms
as it relates to someone's gender identity, And it was
obviously a real sensitive issue which I treated with the
utmost sensitivity by redoing it. Oh yeah, by redoing the
song Ladies Night, by cooling the Gang to Transgender Night,
(25:55):
and name dropping Ben Gray in the song because you
know it's going to be alright, Ben Grays is gonna
be all right or whatever. And as I understand it,
Ben was not happy that he was name dropped repeatedly
in our Transgender Night song by cool in the Gang.
That was a fun song.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Do you have that anyplace?
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Probably? Do you really want to hear that?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Well, it doesn't have to be right now, I mean,
unless you've got.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
It right there, I know, I'm not even it would
see That's what I thought I could. I could find
it and hear, but it would take me a second.
I'll tell you what. We'll come back with just a
little bit of it in just a few minutes. A
couple more emails, we were complaining about HWS Cleveland Boulevard.
Mark says, I used to live on South HWS Cleveland Boulevard,
(26:46):
and I went through a lot of ink having to
write out that stupid long address on forms. I wonder
if that's why he moved. What's your address eighty four
seventy six h south h d Oh, yeah, forget it,
I'm moving forward my mail. We talked about roundabouts. Keith
(27:08):
emailed and said I like roundabouts in a roundabout way.
Thank you. Keith. I mentioned how you could really start
driving fast on many of these roundabouts and catch some
sweet air by jumping over the middle of them. Richard
said the technical term for bisecting a roundabout is dukes
of hazarding. That mfor Thank you for that, Richard, appreciate
(27:31):
that AKA the old give it the old. You could
do that, thank you. Richard only says, yes, roundabouts are
confusing for some actually a lot of people, and frankly
those people should not be out driving if they can't
figure out a roundabout. They're put in for traffic injury
(27:54):
and fatality reduction. The percentage of accidents dramatically reduce because
of the slowing down in the roundabout, and people who
can't figure him out are out there just running stop
lights and stop scigns and crashing into people in intersections.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Right, and they're going to do that anyway, Whether there's
a roundabout or not. So the people who do know
how to drive, who aren't causing the crashes. Yeah, we
have to be the ones that have to suffer.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
But you don't have to wait to stop light in
the roundabout. It's faster. It's just it flows better.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
It's just going on a crusade. I don't honestly care
whether they're they're or not. I just don't prefer them.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
If you missed it earlier, Lucy was crying. Sposed to
be getting so passionate about this issue. Oh and then
the roundabout on what is that Crown Point. It's near
northwest and there is a part of the roundabout that
does go into a guy's driveway. Rob sent me the
(28:55):
Google image here and said, I wonder if this poor
homeowner winds up people accidentally turning into their driveway.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Probably how does that even happen?
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Because they're like, we're putting in the roundabout, but I
live here. Well, I would prefer you. I This is
probably how it happened. Someone came along and said, we're
kind of redoing this whole area, and it would be
great if you were to sell your house to the area.
Maybe some eminent domain because we're putting more traffic in here,
and it'd be great if your house wasn't here and
(29:27):
I'm not moving, okay, then the roundabout's going in your driveway.
That'll get him to move. And this guy's so stubborn
he won't move. That's probably how that happens.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Okay, I can see where that would happen. But the
city would have to at some point stop come into
this and say you've got people stopping in the middle
of the roundabout to turn into the driveway and that's
going to cause more problems than not having one. So
I'm not buying it.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Does he have enough room in his driveway to kind
of back out and and then go and enter forward
into the driveway or does he back out of his
driveway and back up into the roundabout. That guy has
one stubborn sob. I like him. I don't know who
he is. I like him. Scott Fores, Mornings nine to eleven,
(30:18):
Our News Radio eleven ten KFAB
Scott Vordiez saw the headline, this one from k e
TV News Watch seven. It said the new traffic pattern
has drivers confused, and I said, they've got to be
talking about one hundred and ninety second in Dodge. Now,
it's not on Dodge. You're if you're racing at one
hundred and seventy five miles per hour like everyone else
up and down Dodge, you don't experience this. But once
(00:21):
you go down into the bowels of one hundred and
ninety second Street in West Omaha and want to head
south one hundred and ninety second, you were in the
Diamond Diverge Interchange, the DDI. It's the first of its
kind in the metro and it's something where if you've
(00:46):
done something like travel and you've been in other communities,
it's weird because there's some towns that suddenly you're just
driving down the road like we all experience around here,
like OK, hey, the street goes this way, and then
suddenly you're like, I, I don't know what happened? Am
I In the Bermuda Triangle, it looks like I'm driving
(01:09):
into oncoming traffic suddenly, like this lane is going way
over here. I feel like it shouldn't do this, And
then there's cars turning this way and I don't know
where I'm going. I'm just gonna follow the guy in
front of me and hope he knows what he's doing.
The chances are he doesn't. And that's what we have
now at one hundred and ninety second and Dodge the diamond.
(01:30):
Why why in the world, what is different about one
hundred and ninety second that needs to be so stupid
different than two hundred and fourth and one hundred and
eightieth and one hundred and sixty eighth and one hundred
and fifty six. I can keep going. I can.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I don't know if it was the landscape there, but
they did get a lot. There were a lot more
crashes in that area than at some of the other intersections.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
And there's going to be more now because you got
traffic coming at each other.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Right nowogists for this diamond. I do not agree with roundabouts.
I do not like these. I wish they'd all go away.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I don't well, I don't have a problem with roundabouts.
Am I the only person that doesn't care. It's not
about a roundabout.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
It's not that the roundabout is such a hassle. It's
that you get into them with people who have no clue.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
What's so hard about it. If there's a car coming
at you, then it's not your turn to go.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Well, a logical person would say.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
That, well, how hard is this?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
We have a lot of illogical people on the wad.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
We've got plenty of four way intersections with stop lights,
and no one stops right. You know. I'm right now
teaching my son how to drive. He's fifteen, and he
knows when we're at an intersection and the light turns green,
the first thing he does is to guess, is not
go the light turns green. If you're the first one
(02:51):
through the intersection, the first thing you do is look left,
then right, then left then right.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
And the people behind you are honking no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
You can do this quickly. He's a good scanner. He's
a basketball player, you know, he's a quick scan And
then you go. You have to because there's people that
are like, ah, these intersections and the traffic lights are
a mere suggestion for someone like me. I am much
too important to stop at a red light. I have
to keep going. Why look up from my phone? So
(03:24):
the roundabout is if someone's coming at you from the
left and you only have to look one way, and
they're coming around, or they seem to be coming around.
You're like, are they gonna keep coming and impede my
flow into the roundabout? Let me just take a pause
to see yep, they are okay, I'll wait and I'll
go on behind them. The roundabout is not hard. People
(03:46):
get so mad at roundabouts, but the roundabout at least
makes sense. Where you're driving down straight down your lane
and then suddenly you're cutting across at a forty five
degree angle, where on every other street in town that's
where the traffic is coming at you. That seems like
a bad idea, but that's that's the Diamond Diverge interchange
(04:12):
one hundred and ninety second and Dodge on one hundred
ninety second. Again, it doesn't impact Dodge. Story here from
k E TV talks to a driver named Levetti says,
I drive through here a lot quote it's terrible. Honestly,
it's like a maze and you don't know where you're going.
I'm just I'm just trying to go to the buffet.
(04:36):
That's the only reason I go this way. But it's
a mess unquote. I'm just trying to go to the buffet.
What buffet? I pardon my ignorance, what buffet is at
a one hundred and that's the other thing. They said, Well,
we have to accommodate the growth of this area at
(04:57):
one hundred ninety second in Dodge. It will grow, but
it's not now. There's not a lot. You've got the
fountain out there, and you've got a business, and you've
got uh, there's a great new church over there that
just opened up for Easter, and it's a it's a
nice area. But and of course you got the auto
(05:17):
dealerships on the other side of the street. Where's the
Am I missing out on a great buffet and one
hundred and ninety second and Dodge? Because I need to
know that. I'm looking at my map search restaurants in
this area. Are you off the phone, Lucy?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
All right? Are there? Is there a buffet restaurant at
one hundred and ninety second and Dodge? Because this driver says,
I just go through this area to get to the buffet.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
One hundred and ninety second and I don't, gosh, I
don't think so. I have not been on a been
on one hundred and ninety second in a while, it's.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Really not much in the way of restaurants in that
whole area.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Well, I mean it's it's building up.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
I know it's and it's going to which now I'm
gonna argue against my Really, I'm not arguing that they're
doing there. When they're doing all this infrastructure work out there,
that streets included, they're looking at the long term growth
of the area, which is amazing because at no other
(06:22):
point do we ever seem to do that. Let me
give you another example. One hundred and fifty six then Ida,
so northwest Omaha, forget it, don't even drive over there.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Want not so much closed.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
What it's all closed. The whole intersection is closed, and
it's going to be closed forever for the most of
the rest of the year. Now, one hundred and fifty
six an Ida. That intersection, when there's a lot of traffic,
is a night amer because it's a four way stop,
and if you're going especially northbound, it's there's a whole
(06:59):
long line of cars and there's just enough cars come
in the other direction, I guess, especially if you're going
westbound and taking a left there, then you've got cars
coming there, so it makes everyone wait. And wouldn't it
be better to have a a right turn lane or
around about there to keep that traffic flowing through there,
or at least a turn lane for you to be
(07:22):
able to turn off and go eastbound at one hundred
and fifty six and Ida. And the reason why the
intersection no longer meets the needs in the area is
because there's new schools. And you got the new high
school with YMCA Omaha West views out there, and then
you got another school and some other businesses coming up
on the northwest part of that intersection. And here's the thing.
(07:44):
Everyone knew that these schools and businesses and neighborhoods were
going in long before this became a problem. And as
they're over here building the school and over here building
that school in this neighborhood, didn't anyone say, perhaps, before
(08:04):
all these things are open, well, it's less inconvenient for
people out in this corner of the world. Maybe we
also now shut down the intersection and we can get
it all done in one shot. Did anyone think that,
Oh golly no, why would anyone do that? So at
(08:24):
least at one hundred and ninety second in Dodge. They're saying, well,
we're doing all this now so that when we have
all the growth out here in this little corner of
the world, then it'll all be great. Except I think
people are going to be crashing into each other because
people already crashing into each other and without the angled
crossing movement of a diamond divergent interchange.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Well what well, there you go a little bit further
north of there at one hundred and Blair high Road
Highway three three. Sorry, they're building seven hundred units there
now whether they would be there's gonna be. Some of
those will be apartments, obviously it's not remember for seven hundred,
Well maybe there is.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
About all that.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
More traffic is another thing. I grew up in Omaha,
and I think I mentioned this to my wife the
other night because she asked if I wanted to I
don't remember. I wasn't really listening. Do I want to
eat something or do something? And I said, honey, here's
(09:31):
the reality. If this isn't something that I did or
ate before the year two thousand, I'm not interested. I'm
just not hardly I'm not interested in whatever, Like I
don't know what that is, and I don't want it.
And so I say that relating to traffic growing up
(09:54):
here in Omaha, pretty much the grid of these three
north and south of Dodge and these numbered streets go
in this direction. This makes sense to me, this is
this is my comfort zone. But the city has grown
since I learned how to drive and got my driver's
license in nineteen ninety two, and occasionally I have to
(10:16):
go outside the grid. And even though I don't live
too far from this area we're talking about out there,
the Blair high Road and all that, I still there
are some parts of Omaha you get into on the
north side where I don't have any idea. It's like, oh,
(10:38):
this is Blair high Road, and then there's also Military
and the Sorenson Parkway, and then and there, well Fort
could go any number of directions and then stop and
then leave you at that intersection going I think I'm
pointed the other way. I don't know which way to
go anymore. And then you've got there's another one out there,
(11:00):
another parkway or Blair high Road. I almost had it
by Northwest, by Northwest High School. There's another one, winning off. Yeah,
well there's winning Off Crown Point there's Crown right cround point. Yeah,
and then and uh, then you get into like then
(11:20):
military pops up again, and then there's Radial and then
you come up on Benson. Do they not want us
to drive into Benson anymore?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I think so, because that whole area.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Of Maple was closed for construction just east of seventy
second Street, and then it opened for a minute and
a half and then they said, I, we're closing it again,
and I guess that we're just not supposed to go
into Benson anymore. I haven't known who's playing at the
waiting room all year, because everyone like once every three months.
I'm like, oh, I want to see that act. Well,
(11:53):
I don't know. Now.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I think your wife's just been hiding those posts from you.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Could be So I'm just saying that, what, why can't
we just just grid it out, grid it out without
diamond lanes and traffic that suddenly starts going at an
angle and cutting across here and there. I just I
(12:19):
like things, how I like them.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
You're old, Get off my lawn.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I know.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Now. I'm the same way I told the guys this morning.
My goal at this point, Yeah, at some point in
my life when I retire, I will move to a
nice small city like Omaha used to be in lower taxes.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
But I want to I want to live here, and
I I do. I do. I admit sometimes I think
because I'll go to a smaller community in the area,
and I'll think, you know, I love the idea of
kind of living out. I don't want to be up
by myself and country. I need people I can bother,
and I like the idea of living in a smaller community.
(13:08):
And the only thing that stops me from doing that
is the thought like I'm just gonna run to the
store and grab something real quick, see you in forty
five minutes. Like I don't want that. I love the
convenience of being in the city, but.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
You can be in another city that has that convenience.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
That is not talking about I'm not talking about. I'm
talking about really small like some of these neighborhoods that
are off the beaten path of even some of the
small town.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, but not for long. Yeah, if they're close to Omaha,
it's not for long.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Yeah. But by the time that gets that would get
any bigger, I'll be dead.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
I'll be dead.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
I'll be dead, and it'll be someone else's problem. That's
a cheery way to end this segment. I love this
email to see this is what I'm talking about with
some of these streets, and my if you just joined us,
my complaint was, I learned how to drive here throughout
the nineties. I got my license back in the eighties,
(14:05):
but I learned how I'm kidding. I learned how to
drive in Omaha as a teenager throughout the nineties. So
if the city of Omaha has grown beyond that time,
I don't like to venture out that way because I
don't know where some of these streets grow. And we're
talking about there's Blair high Road that goes into Sorensen,
(14:28):
which goes into Fort, which cuts over to Military and
then Fort runs out, then Military becomes Radio, and I'm like,
I don't know. Now, I know the radio and all
that that is original Omaha, but you know I could
navigate like Military into Radio into Saddle Creek for that.
(14:49):
That's part of the original. It wasn't the grid, but
I was able to navigate it because I liked going
to radio hall. Back in the day, they would have
the the record and tape shows where a bunch of
people is set up card tables and they would you
could go in there and get like bootleg concert tapes?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Was that by One Eyed Jacks?
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I don't know what that is.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
It used to be a bar there I used to have.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I'm talking. I was seventeen. I wasn't going to a bar,
so I don't know about one. But I know Radio
Hall had a lot of really great stuff. So it
used to One Jack used to have what the One
Armed bandits nothing? But the casino had nothing that you
said it used to have.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Well, no, you didn't want to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
No, no, I no, I I want to.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
We're just acting like all pious that you never entered.
I never darkened the door of a bar before twenty one,
because I don't believe that. There isn't anybody listening that
believes that.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
It's technically not true.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
But I trying to find the place you were talking about.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Radio Hall. Didn't you ever go to Radio Hall?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Is there a big sign on it right now that
says radio Hall?
Speaker 1 (15:59):
No, it's gone.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Yeah, So I don't know it was there, I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
And you didn't grow up far from there, And I'm saying,
was your a little kid? You didn't go to Radio
Hall for the various community events they had there. But
you're hanging out in a bar.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
No, because it had the drive through part of the bar,
and we were in the car sometimes when my father
would stop to pick up some yeah, delicious streets at
the bar for himself.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Chris says Scott akfab dot com. Can we talk about
how ridiculous HWS Cleveland Boulevard is?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Not only is the name stupid.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
It goes seventeen different directions.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Yeah, for like forty miles, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
For north, all the way to south. Yes, we can
talk about that, and I think we just did. Yeah.
I don't know what the it's the HMS. Pinafore, what's
it called hw S Cleveland Boulevard?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Too much? There's too many words and letters in there, right.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Just how do you get to your house? You take
a left on HWN and I forget it. I'll stay home.
Am I supposed to know what that is? This email
says I live near Crown Point Avenue and these traffic
engineers laid the wood to us a few years back
without even any public notice. They narrowed Crown Point from
(17:30):
four lanes to two and installed four count of four
roundabouts between seventy eighth and Blair High Road, a distance
of less than a mile. Apparently everyone was getting from
seventy second Street to Blair high Road. Military see which
road is it? Too quickly and efficiently? There are houses
on Crown Point and have their driveway entrances in the roundabout?
(17:53):
Is that true?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
What?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
He might be slightly exaggerating, but maybe not. I don't.
I don't know, I don't.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
How could that couldn't even be legal?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
This email says the two main causes of traffic fatalities
are red light running and speeding. Roundabouts stop both of them.
I love them. There's someone who loves a roundabout.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
That's great.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Well, that's the other great thing about a roundabout. If
you if you're coming up on one and really get
a lot of speed, you can jump over the middle
of the roundabout because usually it's a slightly angled curve,
some dirt without a lot of trees and stuff in
the middle of it, so you can you can ramp
over that thing like evil canievel and catch some sweet air.
Scott Voice News Radio eleven ten started off the hour
(18:49):
here talking about the new Diamond Diverge interchange on one
hundred and ninety second underneath Dodge. Out there, it's the DDI,
the Diamond Diverge Interchange, otherwise known as the Diamond Dave Interchange.
It's you might as well jump go ahead out there.
(19:11):
How do I get How do I get to that
that church? Well you take Dodge to one hundred and
ninety second and then you head south on Panama, and
if you're hot for teacher, you'll go through the Diamond
Dave Interchange. So are you writing this down?
Speaker 2 (19:30):
We don't have a Panama.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
I'll wait, I'll wait. It's another Van Halen title from
the Diamond Dave era, and then you find yourself right there.
We don't have a Panama, Well we should.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Then Jamie's crying, Oh, yes.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
What's the what's the name of that awesome guitar solo
instrumental that goes into girl you really got me? Now
you got me? So I don't know what.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
I'm I don't know the name of the endwers.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Oh, I love that explosion or something like that. It's amazing. Anyway,
that will throw that reference in there as well, if
I can, if I can think, No, I think it's eruption.
I think it's eruption goes into you really got Me.
That's a fantastic piece of van Halen music, early van Halen. Anyway,
(20:23):
we've talked about that, and then we're talking about roundabouts.
Lucy says she hates roundabouts. Got this email says roundabouts suck.
Chevy Chase is with you. Lucy signed Travis the Mailman,
and then he also puts into parentheses European vacation, just
(20:46):
in case I wasn't familiar with the eighties movie reference,
which of course I am. Look kids, big Ben Parliament.
I can't get over in the other way. Thank you
very much for that eighties movie reference. Look at I
still say that, by the way, in just about any
time I'm going around around about. Look, k it's big
(21:06):
Ben Parliament.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Do they get it anyone?
Speaker 1 (21:12):
No, it's I say this to myself in the car
when it's just me.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Oh pretty much, that's weird.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Yeah yeah. This email on the double divergent Diamond Diamond
Dave interchange, Bob says, if you think the double divergent,
it's a diamond divergent. If you think the diamond is fun.
Now this is where you've got lanes. You know how
lanes go you know, straight, and don't suddenly angle off
(21:40):
into what seems like where the traffic would be coming
directly at you. These lanes don't do that. It suddenly
angles off and there's cones everywhere. And I'm like, why
couldn't Why couldn't we just go how traffic goes? Why
do we got to do all this? But Bob said,
if you think those are fun, now, just wait till
(22:02):
it snows or there or there's a power outage.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Yeah, there's no just stopping and letting the next cargo.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
You know who has a lot of those weird like
sudden diamond swerve angle things. Uh, Springfield Branson area. You'll
be heading down to the lake or down to Brans
or whatever, and you got to go there's a little
jog you go through, like around Springfield, and suddenly it's
just like I think I'm going to crash into everybody
(22:34):
in this town. The lanes just start going all whack
a doodle.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
I don't think I've seen that.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Oh, several people pointed out I did screw up. I
do gotta check my facts, fool, You're right. I'd said
that they closed the whole intersection, and I said, one
hundred and fifty six an Ida. That is wrong. One
hundred and sixty eight eight an Ida.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Well, I didn't. I didn't catch that because there is
also a bunch of nonsense going on at one hundred
and fifty six.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
One hundred fifty six in state. You've got a little
nonsense there. But one hundred and fifty six then Ida
is just it's it's it's a little silly in the
morning when if you are in that area when school
like people are like, we got to take our kids
to school, and students got to get to school, and
other people are like, and I'm going to the YMCA
(23:32):
at the same time when everyone else is going to school,
and that it gets a little choked in that area.
But it's one hundred and sixty eight an Ida that's
closed down because someone said, Hey, we're building all this
new stuff out here, should we also shut down the
intersection and fix it up before people are driving through here. No,
(23:52):
let's open everything up for a while and then close
it all down when it's most inconvenient.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
HM.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
So you're right, I was screwing that up, and I
checked my facts fool. By the way, he was back
on KFAB yesterday, I heard Ben Gray on with Crispy.
Crispy Chris P is filling in for Emery this week
two to six until Emory is back from his pub
(24:20):
culture publication. Yet, No, he's still I saw a picture
of him.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
You're amazing trips.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Biking around Amsterdam right now. He may never come back.
Looks like he's having a great time. We're expecting him
back on Monday. Chris P is in there. He talked
to Ben Gray yesterday. It was good to hear the
former and potential district to councilman back on the radio.
But I kept listening. I wanted him to get mad
(24:48):
and start yelling at Chris P. But he didn't. That's
Ben Gray when he was in the city council yelling
at some constituent and it became a rally cry on
this radio show. When I get something wrong, Ben Gray
yells at me to check my facts. Fool.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Has he ever asked you about this?
Speaker 1 (25:09):
No? No. The only time that I know that Ben
Gray was ever mad at me was he was among
the votes when he was on the council for I
don't I honestly don't remember. I think it was just
(25:30):
about like a public accommodations when it comes to restrooms
as it relates to someone's gender identity, And it was
obviously a real sensitive issue which I treated with the
utmost sensitivity by redoing it. Oh yeah, by redoing the
song Ladies Night, by cooling the Gang to Transgender Night,
(25:55):
and name dropping Ben Gray in the song because you
know it's going to be alright, Ben Grays is gonna
be all right or whatever. And as I understand it,
Ben was not happy that he was name dropped repeatedly
in our Transgender Night song by cool in the Gang.
That was a fun song.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Do you have that anyplace?
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Probably? Do you really want to hear that?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Well, it doesn't have to be right now, I mean,
unless you've got.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
It right there, I know, I'm not even it would
see That's what I thought I could. I could find
it and hear, but it would take me a second.
I'll tell you what. We'll come back with just a
little bit of it in just a few minutes. A
couple more emails, we were complaining about HWS Cleveland Boulevard.
Mark says, I used to live on South HWS Cleveland Boulevard,
(26:46):
and I went through a lot of ink having to
write out that stupid long address on forms. I wonder
if that's why he moved. What's your address eighty four
seventy six h south h d Oh, yeah, forget it,
I'm moving forward my mail. We talked about roundabouts. Keith
(27:08):
emailed and said I like roundabouts in a roundabout way.
Thank you. Keith. I mentioned how you could really start
driving fast on many of these roundabouts and catch some
sweet air by jumping over the middle of them. Richard
said the technical term for bisecting a roundabout is dukes
of hazarding. That mfor Thank you for that, Richard, appreciate
(27:31):
that AKA the old give it the old. You could
do that, thank you. Richard only says, yes, roundabouts are
confusing for some actually a lot of people, and frankly
those people should not be out driving if they can't
figure out a roundabout. They're put in for traffic injury
(27:54):
and fatality reduction. The percentage of accidents dramatically reduce because
of the slowing down in the roundabout, and people who
can't figure him out are out there just running stop
lights and stop scigns and crashing into people in intersections.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Right, and they're going to do that anyway, Whether there's
a roundabout or not. So the people who do know
how to drive, who aren't causing the crashes. Yeah, we
have to be the ones that have to suffer.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
But you don't have to wait to stop light in
the roundabout. It's faster. It's just it flows better.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
It's just going on a crusade. I don't honestly care
whether they're they're or not. I just don't prefer them.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
If you missed it earlier, Lucy was crying. Sposed to
be getting so passionate about this issue. Oh and then
the roundabout on what is that Crown Point. It's near
northwest and there is a part of the roundabout that
does go into a guy's driveway. Rob sent me the
(28:55):
Google image here and said, I wonder if this poor
homeowner winds up people accidentally turning into their driveway.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Probably how does that even happen?
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Because they're like, we're putting in the roundabout, but I
live here. Well, I would prefer you. I This is
probably how it happened. Someone came along and said, we're
kind of redoing this whole area, and it would be
great if you were to sell your house to the area.
Maybe some eminent domain because we're putting more traffic in here,
and it'd be great if your house wasn't here and
(29:27):
I'm not moving, okay, then the roundabout's going in your driveway.
That'll get him to move. And this guy's so stubborn
he won't move. That's probably how that happens.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Okay, I can see where that would happen. But the
city would have to at some point stop come into
this and say you've got people stopping in the middle
of the roundabout to turn into the driveway and that's
going to cause more problems than not having one. So
I'm not buying it.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Does he have enough room in his driveway to kind
of back out and and then go and enter forward
into the driveway or does he back out of his
driveway and back up into the roundabout. That guy has
one stubborn sob. I like him. I don't know who
he is. I like him. Scott Fores, Mornings nine to eleven,
