I spoke with Shauna yesterday and she said that Scott, the construction manager, and his crew should be back out on Friday to start work on the sidewalk again. Scott didn’t want to dig everything up while the weather was rainy and create a big muddy mess in front of our homes. Hopefully we can get a break from the rain so the project can move forward.
Also, as part of the sidewalk project, they’re planning to prepare the soil for landscaping in the areas where we’ll have plantings, then they will mulch those areas. The actual plants and trees won’t get placed until the fall, just before the fall rains start, so we won’t have to water all the new plants all summer long. The mulch should help keep the dirt areas under control during the summer months. They’ll work on planting plans now or in the summer, and then in the fall, they’ll deliver all the plants that need to be planted, and the community volunteers (thanks to those of you who volunteered) will plant the new plants. The city will place the trees, so we won’t have to worry about those.
