PSA: The new city hall plaza in Springfield has the worst expansion joint work I've ever seen.
I was walking through there last week and the cuts are all over the place, some are way too deep and others barely scratch the surface. It looks like they let an apprentice go wild with a saw for the first time. How does a job that big get signed off with such sloppy control joints? Anyone else seen a public project this bad lately?

The city's public works report from last week actually praised the contractor for finishing the plaza ahead of schedule and under budget. Those expansion joints are cut to different depths on purpose because of the varying slab thickness from the old foundation they had to work with. It might look messy to a casual look, but the engineering firm that approved it has a solid reputation. I'd rather have a functional space that saved tax money than perfect looking cuts that cost twice as much.
