The construction on elm street has been going on for a year now, there are no streetlights on the entire street and the construction crew leaves trash everywhere. Bummer.

The mayor actually made a post about the construction and called it a success. It's Friday morning, I can't leave for work! The construction crew dug a whole with absolutely zero notice given.

How is this okay? Is the city gonna pay for my lost wages? The hole is deeper than the picture shows I just didn't wanna lay out in the street.

These guys have been doing the sidewalk since the beginning of May. Right outside my house. The past 3 days I haven't been able to park in my driveway which means I'm carrying groceries in 90 degree heat down the street. Not fun!

Not talking bad about the construction workers they've been alright and (mostly) pick up after themselves. Just seems like this is taking an awfully long time to get done.

Its caused my garbage to not be picked up twice now! Not in consecutive weeks, but two in total. Just such a hassle for a new sidewalk. Old one was fine.
