Dayton Construction

Here's the link to the last Dayton Construction post.

There's been a tiny flurry of activity in the park recently. They turned the lights on, but they were on day and night. Yesterday they had an electrician take apart one of the lamps, and now they only come on at night. Yesterday they also removed the trench digger after three months of so of sitting idle.

We got our first heavy rain in quite a while last week, and I noticed that at the intersection of the new main road to the Art Institute and the new road to the hospital, it floods.

That area never flooded before. When they created these new, unnecessary roads, they created a flooding problem too. That'll give them another excuse to tear stuff up again and squander more of our wealth.

On a related note, if you follow this Dayton Construction thread back far enough, you'll find pictures I took of all the construction projects within about a two mile radius of my house. I noticed this weekend that one of those intersections, Patterson and 2nd, is tore up again. It's been about three years, and they tore it up again. I'm telling you, this construction boondoggle is the modern, more insidious version of digging ditches and filling them back in.
