Garbage Day Construction!

Last week, on garbage day, the city started to tear up our street to repave it.

I'm not sure how the garbage collectors managed to drive their trucks through the construction chaos.

It took three days for the five blocks to be torn up. Then the construction stopped - once the crushed rock was packed down.

Then it sat for four days, untouched...

Then, this week... on garbage day (!) the paving crew arrived with heavy equipment and dozens of dump trucks full of hot asphalt...

Over the course of the day, somehow both paving and waste collection eventually were done - but it couldn't have been easy!

(Hmmm. Do city planners do this on purpose - just to make life more difficult?!!)
