Weber Street Reconstruction - College to Union

[ijmorlan]

They are finally finishing off the West side pedestrian railings. About half of the uprights are installed; some more are sitting on pallets being painted at the corner of Victoria & Weber.

They are dark grey, while the ones installed originally on the East side are silver.


The original ones are rusting pretty badly. My guess is that they stopped installation when the original ones started rusting and worked to try to find a better surface treatment for the remainder. Now the question is, will they replace/recoat the east side uprights, or leave them as is?

Since when do we not know how to make bridge rail posts that don’t rust? If this is indeed what is going on, this is ridiculous. We cannot make progress as a society if we are unable to perform routine actions without having to re-do them several times before they are done properly.
