Have you all seen the latest Anderson St update on the city's site?
"11/12/09 Update: Work is progressing on the Anderson Street sewer lines and is expected to continue for at least another two weeks. We will provide additional information as it becomes available."
This is informative and up-to-date? This is the extent of the information available to the city in the last 2 weeks?
Where's all the info about the new problems that have popped up? What about the possibility of the work going beyond Main and Anderson? What about the extended timetable that we already know will take us until the end of the year?
This "update" tells us nothing. The city should be INFORMING us - not insulting our intelligence.
I was told by some workers today that the schedule for completion of work between Union and Main appears to be 6-8 weeks, assuming no other problems pop up. One guy said he thought the project was only going as far as mid-Main and not to River St.
The 45'-deep groundwater is being drained. Should take a week.
The street is opened up again right in the middle of the block and the sheet piles are being pounded into the ground again. What seems strange is that this is being done right where it had been done before.
Remember "Steelhenge"? It's been recreated in the same spot. I'm sure there's a good reason, but it seems odd to the casual observer.
Guess what? You can see in the second picture that the Sears flag is still at half staff! Maybe it IS related to Anderson St. But at this stage, I think the proper flag etiquette would be to fly it upside-down.
