For This Week’s Open Thread, We’re Talkin’ ‘Bout Traffic

As we do every time this week, we're turning Racket over to you, the readers.

Let's talk traffic jams—and I don't mean the kind Steve Winwood's jazzy '70s prog rock band used to play!

Every outlet in town has covered the fact that summer road construction season is upon us, so why shouldn't we? The big hassle this year will be shutdowns on I-94, and we're hearing from folks who live in far-flung, exotic locales like Lake Elmo that it's ruining their commute.

So, how will you adjust your driving in the summer ahead? Do you drive on city streets to avoid the congestion or does that just make it worse? Will you take mass transit more?

As always, feel free to ignore this prompt and talk about whatever you want. This is your Open Thread after all.

Take us out, Jimi!
