Case Closed. Case Resolved. The PWD Roadway Repair Contractor is working on your street performing patch paving. The construction process is to dig out 6.5 inches of material and place 5 inches of dense binder hot mix asphalt in 2 lifts. The dense binder gives the patch its strength but is has large stones and is not conducive to providing a smooth ride, the contractor usually within a week comes back and places 1.5 inches of the top course. The top course is hot mix asphalt that provides the smooth ride. The street is leafleted before the work begins where it explains that it is a mufti phase construction operation and you should look at the dates since they will change as each construction phases progresses. Our goal is to allow parking between phases and not post the street for the entire time the work takes place. The city apologizes for the inconvenience the work caused. Mark Cardarelli

no leaflets were distributed. no work was done on the dates posted for weeks, and the dates just kept changing without notice. Example. no parking for dates tue the 8th and wed the 9th. no work on either day. lo and be hold some time on the morning of the 10th, new dates. no parking on thu the 10th and fri the 11th. the work dates just changed without notice. you got to give people a heads up, not just sharpie in new dates every other day for weeks on end. there was no parking on this street for almost three weeks before they finally came to repair the patches. your explanation didn't address this at all. but never mind, it is 4 months later. they did the patch work, then about three weeks later the gas company dug it up again. what a waste of money.
