Morse MMP
 
Just came back from Southern Oaks (about 2 PM), and the Morse MMP was closed and detoured onto Meggison north at the tunnel. I tried asking the 3 people there who stated "they're doing a scan". Any idea what that is and why it closes down the MMP?

I just came from Rohan to Sawgrass and it was open. Whatever it was they must have gotten it figured out.

I saw A TECO truck in the area that appeared to have downward facing sensors across the front bumper.

Maybe scanning gas lines?

What route did you wind up having to take to get back to the Morse MMP?

Could’ve been for a traffic study....

There is a 1 inch wide crack running about 8 feet in the tunnel wall as you are heading down into the tunnel coming from Hawkins. I would imagine all those dump trucks going over the tunnel endlessly is taking it toll. They must be looking to see how extensive the problem is and if there is a void that has to be fixed.

If the endless dump trucks are over weight...hmmm, never mind that
If the endless dump trucks were identified as the causation of the crack...hmm never mind that too
If the crack is a hazard or potential hazard to those on the road and to those using the tunnel, who is responsible for the repair? CDD, the county, builders, dump truck companies?
Just asking for friends that use both the roadway and tunnels down there.

Well, when the poorly built windmill was junked, Villagers paid for it. When the poorly built bridge on Morse gets repaired, all Sumter Co residents will be stuck with the bill.... see a pattern?

Once again - There is nothing and never was anything wrong with the bridge. The bridge is not being worked on.

By the way - The work on THE ISLAND is nearly complete. The rock is all in place and it looks like they are replacing plants.

The friend knows it’s going to be you and you’re fellow villager’s

What pattern? Of a crappy development? Of crumbling infrastructure? Of poorly built homes that no one wants?
