I wasn't talking about him in particular. Let's say people ask questions about Tucson and what pops up... Oro Valley! Oh, well, it is a town of its own. You can toot its horn all the time on the AZ forum, if so compelled. Judging by the sound of some posts, I would think the whole city of Tucson is Oro Valley's nearby dump if I were an outsider!

Eight months early! If only the city council could work this efficiently.

Excellent news!
I take it by your comment that the city is doing little in road infrastructure to get people *to* Tucson's one and only freeway in a metro area of nearly a million.

They are just widening it, for people already on the freeway.

Two reasons I drive all away to Wal-Mart on Cortaro:
1. A certain type of dog treat, that not even the Wal-Mart small stores have
2. Fishing department, and those Oh-so-Yummy Canadian Nightcrawlers
(3rd, but this I won't tell my lady, the In-and-Out...wahahahahahaha...weird laugh from the top of Dracula's castle at full moon)

Of course they are going to finish early. Nothing takes 4 years to build. The contractor purposefully negotiated the contract for a longer period of time than they knew it would take. The idiots that negotiated the contract for the city were clueless and they put in a $23,000 per day bonus for early completion. The contractor is getting over $900,000 in bonus money!

It's just par for the course in Tucson. The people running that place are some of the most corrupt and incompetent on Earth.

You've clearly never heard of the Big Dig.
Took a LOT longer than 4 years and cost a TON of money.

I wouldn't complain about something being done ahead of schedule - that's (sadly) not typically the case.

This project has been going on for two years, not four.
