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.

What a joke.

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.

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

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.

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

Sure but will they replace it to its original condition? Hell no.

It’ll be a shitty patch job or even just a hole filled with gravel and mud for a long time

True, they definitely won't. And it's in a bike lane.

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.

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

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