More Lincoln Street Repairs

Even though it's early December the work continues on Lincoln Street.  It's still a beehive of activity with worker bees...

Hydro-seeding was done.  Interestingly, it was done from atop a truck with a  high powered hose.  I suspect this is by design, not laziness, and allows for the seed to get blown down and into the soil.  Of course there's green hydro-seed on everything from mailboxes to fence posts to trees, it's everywhere. Growing season is over for the Winter, so lets hope the seed stays where it is and begins to grow come Spring.

With the new black-top road in place we began seeing water run off makes it way down our driveway.  This was not an issue beforehand, so a call to the DPW and wallah!  Within a couple of days the contractors were digging up the end portion of our driveway.  They basically raised the level and pitch, so now the water flows past and to the storm drain as it should.

I don't know how the neighbor pulled this one off but somehow the contractors came back another day, three of them, along with two Franklin police officers to direct traffic and relocated her mailbox from one side of the driveway to the other.  They spend close to an hour lolly-gagging then working.  Can only imagine what the police detail costs...

Looks like the project is winding down and I suspect this sort of work will be coming to an end as the ground is now beginning to freeze up.

Fingers crossed on new Springtime grass.
