[Chat] [Discussion] Jones Fall Sewer project

[Eric A. Perlman]

We were given initial notice of this, through a number of fliers
and people knocking on our door, over 6 months ago.  The initial
estimate of work was early October ... two months behind schedule
is nothing, apparently, for a project like this.

Thankfully we haven't found things to be too bad, probably because
I am across the street.  Having walked by the big dig at 27th
& Calvert I predict the worst will come as they start to bang lots
of large metal supports into the ground (is that what they started
doing today?)
