\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>Greg Alesch is an Eastbridge resident who patiently waited for the Central Park exit to open, but time and time again was disappointed when it was either not opened, or only opened enough to detour drivers to the Havana exit<\/a>. \u201cI remember the first time I saw the sign that said \u2018Central Park Blvd. Exit,\u2019\u201d says Alesch. I was so excited to not have to take Havana anymore, so I took it. I had to get right back onto the highway because of the construction.\u201d\n\nThis would not be the only time Greg was disappointed. \u201cAnother time I took it, and all I got was a long frontage road to Havana,\u201d said Alesch. \u201cI hate getting stuck at the train stop on Havana but at least I can trust I will eventually get through.\u201d Greg was also duped while running on 29th street in Stapleton. \u201cI saw one of those bond measure signs, and it had the Central Park Exit written on it. And on top of that, almost like a stamp, it said, \u2018completed.\u2019 Well, my next time out, I gave it one last chance, and sure enough, I was turned back around and diverted by construction cones. I am done with Central Park Blvd. and its empty promises.\u201d\nGreg is so frustrated, he compares it to a long on again-off again relationship he had in the past. \u201cThis girl would always say she changed, and we would get back together. But, no, she didn\u2019t change. This happened about seven different times over a decade. Anyway, I am not going to go through that again.\u201d Greg\u2019s friends have offered to help him through the ordeal. \u201cHe actually refuses to drive with anyone that has any intention of going that direction,\u201d says close friend Jay Roberts. \u201cI understand he is hurt, but it is time to let it go. He ends up wasting a lot of time in the car.\u201d\n\u201cMaybe someday I will go with a group of friends and try it out,\u201d says Alesch. \u201cBut, I feel like all that is going to happen is me wasting my voice on a bunch of \u2018I told you so\u2019s.\u2019\u201d\nEditors Note: The Central Park Blvd. exit is open<\/a>. ]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
