6. The design of the study is poor

One of the reasons this proposal is so bad is that the consultants were given a nearly impossible task-- to find a path for a major road within a narrow band as defined by the City of New Braunfels. The consultants were given poorly conceived constraints to their thinking so naturally the proposed route is poorly conceived! It's like the adage-- garbage in creates garbage out or trying to make orange juice with a lime. A poorly designed study will lead to a badly designed road. By the way, can't they provide a scale for the map-- or is that too hard! Also, the consultants did not follow proper planning procedures in performing this study. They did as minimal effort as possible and did little fieldwork and fact checking. I think the citizens deserve better than this shotty work.
