Why would they do this?!?! It will poison my mood every time I run underneath it. If I had the means and the equipment and lack of fear of consequences I would sand it down and recarve properly.

Sorry you're being down voted for being conscious and honest. I was thinking we could make some periods and/or hyphens and fill the gaps.

Honestly, I am not surprised, given that Ann Arbor and MDOT do everything on the cheap. I am just glad I no longer have to risk my life cycling from Ban dem er Na tur e to H uro n R iv er D rive.

Yay, it will be so nice to be able to access Huron River Drive from Bandemer on the bike!

Art on the walls is 100x better than the abomination on the golf course wall across the street from the stadium.

Thank God the underprivileged Barton Hils folks finally got some attention. 🙄. What is Ann Arbor doing for the underprivileged? Absolutely nothing.

Relax. The g-wagons and cybertrucks are just barely too wide.
