And I hear it only has left lanes, has an excessive toll, and doesn't go anywhere.

Its over budget.
Its built by union workers, so its behind schedule.
Road signs are in both English and Spanish.
There are no drivers license requirements and if pulled over you will never be asked for ID.
All speeding tickets will be paid by oil company execs.
You are only allowed to drive on it if you are in a one of those coal powered cars and your tires are fully inflated.
Anyone with an NRA sticker on their car will be pulled over and searched
If anyone stops along side you and asks "do you have any Grey PuPon?", you must redistribute it to them.
.... but hey, its paved with good intentions :D

The funny thing is it really is a dead end at this point. It will probably be extended at some point but right now it's only about a mile long, if that. I saw the street sign before I ever heard anything about the road and thought it was a joke at first.

Which sign would that be? The one announcing the parkway? Or the dead end sign? >:(

The road sign. It's been up for at least 6 months on a road that is paved for around a 1/4 mile and then dead ends a little ways past that. Hopefully it's symbolic.

I heard they passed on the idea of concrete, and put down blacktop instead. ;D
Where's that rimshot icon when you need it?

Around here, they don't name a road after those who are still living. Is that just wishful thinking on Orlando's minds?

Yes. They wish to get more stimulus money.

My street is being resurfaced with stimulus money.
they tore the old pavement up and laid new.
Then they tore up the new pavement to fix the water and sewer lines that got crushed by the heavy equipment. ::)
Then they tore up small patches so they could reset all the man holes etc. creating an interesting "Slalom" effect, especially amusing around 3-4 pm when people are using it as one of the main routes through town. :o
Then they put down a surface coat.
Then they began the same process on the side walks. ???
The road up the street, the one that is nearly impassable because of frost heaves ? ::)
;D
