Â The back hoe is till in the centre of the street and there is still a big hole there, so it's hard to tell whether they're making progress or not, but they are working steadily.
I am frustrated by the lack of progress on Caroline. Â We're going on almost eleven months, in which it has been fully or partially closed, and really is hard to see whatever progress they've made. Â There have been weeks pass by, in which there wasn't a soul on the premises. Â I do realize that it isn't nearly as important an artery as King, but that smacks me as being excessive.
Not sure about Caroline and William, but I think that whole stretch may have been deterred by high groundwater and/or the Laurel Creek crossing which cannot have been a simple task. Â For high water, Granlinq applied for a Permit to Take Water:
This proposal is for a new category 3 permit to take water servicing Grandlinq Contractors, as follows:
