[Department Of Bullshit] I read with interest the post in the September 1, Coconut Telegraph concerning the County’s approach to handling the impacts of sea level rise on the roads in the Florida Keys. The program seems to consist of hiring high paid consultants, having meetings, joining regional organizations, and doing absolutely nothing. The sea encroaches up to, and on to many County roads during high tides. The rate at which the sea level is rising is rapidly increasing and nothing mankind is doing will slow it down. If the County was going to make any progress, they would have done something years ago. In the meantime, there is a building boom for high density building in Islamorada and Marathon, and other parts of the Keys. Which are creating traffic jams and daily accidents on the same roads, that will have sections under water soon. Fortunately for the County, the population seems unconcerned and unaware that they are going to face a multitude of problems in the very near future. The solution is not pumps and complicated plans, but simply raising the roads that will benefit the greatest populations for the least money. The price of fill rock, and gasoline has greatly increased in the time that the County has wasted time and money doing absolutely nothing! There is no end in sight, and time is running out. The time is almost here when you will not be able to get where you are going. The County Resiliency Program is a facade that does not do anything to solve any of the problems that the residents of the county face. Maybe the County should rename it the Department Of Bullshit. |
