Sights on a Stroll

Wednesday's weather gave relief to those afflicted with cabin fever. Even a short walk revealed items of interest.
After finding the sidewalk blocked under the railroad bridge on Watchung Avenue, I came upon workers getting ready for the bridge replacement. The trees were removed last fall. I hope I can get some photos when they actually move the new bridge in.
 This crew looks seriously ready for business. I'm told the replacement will only take one day after all the preparation is done.
The steel is rising on the former Romond's Garage site. Plans call for 20 apartments here.
Parking Lot 6 is full of potholes, but will it get repaved or will the long-awaited parking garage be built first?
Not sure why all this debris is on the Gavett Place sidewalk, but it looks like time for a bulky waste pickup.
PMUA still has a big job to do, convincing residents to sort their recyclables and not put trash in the same bin.
Public Works had just pulled away on East Sixth Street after filling these potholes. A new road repair plan is coming, officials say.

I had forgotten all about the proverbial March winds until they began howling Wednesday night and kept up all day Thursday. Can't we just skip to the May flowers somehow?

  1. A picture is worth a thousand words. Typical of poor pothole repairing id the on on East 6th St. The repairs are cold patch and not compressed so they will deteriorate with the spring rains. Also there are other visible potholes among and adjacent to the ones that have been "filled" that were not toughed. A "half-fast" job.
