Lakecliffe - Construction Day 2

It's Day 2. I got up and moved my car off of the property at about 7:00am just as the paving company was moving on site for the day.

The forms for the curbs went up quickly and continues as workers move sequentially from west to east. The crews have worked on storm sewer inlets, forms for curbs and the engineer was on site. Of course, maintenance was here from time to time as was our manager and I added another layer of complexity.

While this was going on, a variety of vehicles ranging from automobiles to tow trucks to Fedex and the mail carrier all converged in the construction zone. Pedestrians in the street added to the mix. Of course, there were numerous construction vehicles, a bobcat and a small army of workers placing forms, fixing basins, smoothing CA6, spreading concrete and so on.

It got a bit weird when the concrete mixers began queuing up and the curbs were being poured. Not because of the construction workers, but because of the vehicular traffic attempting to enter and exit all at the same time.

I did a bit of traffic direction to avoid an accident. However, doing this is asking for trouble. If a driver doesn't follow my directions, then there might be an accident. Of course, I would then be responsible. That's why I'm here instead of "out there" directing traffic. People must use common sense in these situations. That "Road Closed" sign is there for a reason.

Here's a series of photos which reveals the stages of curb construction.

There are other, numerous details including storm sewer basins. However, it's time for some levity.  There is a "Road Closed" sign out there, and this photo indicates how tight it is.

One resident gave up on attempting to enter with the tucks in the way. I guess he realized that the "Road Closed" sign was there for a purpose. He walked his bags to his vehicle parked on the street. Probably a wise move.
