It's not like repaving obviates the need to maintain and improve underground infrastructure... Looks like they are hooking up that new building to gas and/or water.

It’s just one of those built-in bullshit ways of getting these things done. There’s no way that all of the utilities can be hooked up/maintained on the repaving schedule across an entire block let alone the city.

Homeowners are responsible from the main to their faucet. Your approach would require homeowners finances to ask sync up with the repair schedule.

If the utility was required to do a better job patching they might do a better job coordinating work.

It would be fine if they didn’t tear up everything at once, or at least finish what they started. The street I live off of has been a traffic nightmare for months because of construction.

They recently "fixed" S 25th street under the railway and some of the new potholes are easily over a foot wide. When the water starts freezing, we're fucked all over again.

What a joke.

It looks directly in line with the utilities of the new construction, they probably had to.

Feel like the entire city is under construction right now. Navigating through neighborhoods has been awful for the last few months.
