Road work seems to follow a different pattern here. We notice that projects go on and on and on. Back in December work started on our street. It's all part of a sewer upgrade project. We received printed notices to let us know what was happening, when our access to the street might temporarily be blocked - and that if that happened they'd have a steel plate to put over the hole - but it might take time to put it in place.
Our street was full of all sorts of equipment and workers. The workers were extremely polite. One day a neighbor couldn't get into her driveway. She parked in an office parking lot across the street and the workers helped carry the groceries.
Now it's March and they are digging up the same strip all up and down the street and putting down asphalt - more noise and disruption. But these guys are tidy. Throughout the whole project, at the end of each day, everything is neatly stacked or parked and it looks like someone went through with a broom cleaning things up.
This week when they were digging the trench again, a worker was out with a blower making sure nothing was left on the sidewalks or driveways.
The workers have been exceedingly polite and even apologetic when we've had to weave our way through the work zone.
