or a transportation engineer, or anything like that, but I would think that just maybe Monday morning commute hour is not the best time to shut down two of the four lanes of 8th Street going through Chinatown, from about Alice to Broadway, for construction.

At least, that's what I thought about as the bus sat motionless for five minutes on the way in this morning. And since the bus was hemmed in by construction equipment and such, it wasn't really possible to say "bah, I'll walk" and get off.

Harrumph.
