They should re-name Reno/Sparks

First, they should combine both cities and make one BIG city, and then they need to re-name it DETOUR, Nevada.

You simply can not go ANYWHERE in this area without having to go through some form of a detour.

There are more orange cones than there is sagebrush. They should become the new state flower, or state something...

One wonders why we have such a problem with smog. A car trip that should take 5 minutes, turns into 25 minutes, and going 36 miles out of your way. Longer time and more miles equals more car emissions, which equals more smog, the way I see it.

And a road project that is already going on isn't even completed before they start a new one, just up the road. And we've been told that work on the freeway will begin AGAIN, next year. They should just start on the freeway and never stop, which is really what it seems like anyways.

At all entrances to the state, they need to put up their "ROAD WORK NEXT_____ MILES AHEAD" but have them read "ROAD WORK ON ALL ROADS THRU THE ENTIRE STATE AHEAD". And instead of "DETOUR AHEAD" just have a sign that reads "DETOUR CONTINUES"

That's my rant for today. Just getting to work takes me on two separate detours, and has been ongoing since August, with no end in sight the way I see it. I'm just tired of it. One is going on just outside my window, and I see 5 people standing around, and one man in a big earth mover just sitting there. At the end of the day, it doesn't look like anything has happened. But we still have to "detour" around it. I get on the freeway just to get off again to go around the "closed road".

UUUGGGHHH!!!!

Sounds like Boise. There are 2 big construction projects near us. One causes tons of extra traffic on my route to pick up my girls from school. Makes my trip there and back a headache. You try to detour and then there are detours on your detour you didn't know about.

What would be wrong with State Flower: Pylon. It's a coneflower right? It would not be any more difficult to explain to out-of-staters than sage flower.
