be accomplished during this building of the sewers along this route. This is
of great importance because of the densely residential areas to be affected.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

sent to the various properties along the route to advise them when the process
will be in their areas, when inspectors will be taking videos and photos of the
exterior of properties (and, if permitted inside, interior) to document the
condition of the properties prior to any impact occurring during the
excavation. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

involvement, many of the directly affected properties in Charles Village who
have addresses listed along the major streets such as Maryland, Charles, St.
Paul, N. Calvert, N. Guilford, etc. but still abut 27th St. would have missed
notification. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
