(Words to Rap Song by Commissioner Cook)
Yo Flatiron
One, two, three, go…
Traffic Congestion
Chokin’ commute
TXDOT Dilemma
Design to suit.
I get elected
Drive for a while
Flatirons comes
My drive gets wild.
South on frontage
Loop de loo
Up other side
Traffic tests you.
Month afta month
With no relief
So much work –
Dis - belief.
Dirt starts moving
North loop construct
No cars turning
Backups just suck.
Barrels go up
Block cross flowing
No turns to Rudy’s
Unless west going.
Flatiron floatin’
Some new design
Why not north loop
Westbound consign?
Bridge gets dropped
No turning back
Flatiron pushing
Deadline attack.
Mo’ barrels up
Block cross traffic
No turns to Rudy’s
Drivers panic.
Dirt is building
How high’s the nexus?
Building Mt Evans
Here in Texas.
Week after week
We skirt construction
4 lights it takes
Bypass destruction.
New bridge goes in
Top of the heap
Taking forever
Open! we weep.
I begged relief
Let us take it
Release eastbound
I’ll dance naked.
3 weeks waitin’
Bridge will open
Cheers all ‘round
Both sides hoping.
Shooting the barrels
Flatiron’s whackos
Out of Rudy’s
Got their tacos.
By end of June
Traffic’s flowing
Gone massive backups
East - West smokin’.
All lanes fill up
Traffic’s got it stuffed
Entropy rules
Are there enough?
Still building up
Frontage entrance
No Cracker Barrel
Cross traffic hindrance.
Turning to the left,
To the left,
To the left,
Driving to the right,
To the right,
To the right.
Single lanes beat nut’n
But can’t wait for two
Waitin’ out that rain
Can’t work with goo.
January’s here
Finally in place
All lanes opened (or lanes nearly open)
Flatirons aced.
A taste of Colorado
Made things happen
Heroes to us all
We’re not jackin’.
Time for reviews
Time for bonus
You were great
Pleasure's on us.
