I think it helped reach the public consciousness when the goddamn president was coincidentally in town that day and stopped by, making national news. Also probably the reason it's actually getting fixed in a reasonable amount of time.

In town to talk about infrastructure, of all things. You couldn't ask for a more apt example of exactly why we need to focus on it.
