Great for the unemployment rate but probably not a very wise use of our Amenity Dollars. Doesn't take a Brain Surgeon to figure out that absent these gas blowers, the wind would cause the same result. How about sucking them up so they can't blow back.

In defense of the system, the roads look great between the time the gas blower goes by and the next big gust of wind comes up.
You could apply for a job but I don't think you get an option as to technique, ie suck or blow.
