Construction Update - Everybody Loves Sewers...

During the first two weeks, all the vertical elements and reusable/recyclable materials were removed from the Square. Once the reusable materials were safely away, the big equipment came in and broke down cement, like this...

Then, the Square was a blank canvas ready for work...
And now we begin the infastructure work that will give us a transformed Square...
Since the contour of the ground in Market Square will be different the location of sewer inlets and catch basins will need to be moved so we have optimal drainage in public walkways, the roadway and around businesses.  And while the crew is down there, they will be upgrading all the old pipes.  Ah, the things that make modern life possible.
So head down for Friday Happy Hour to celebrate the Steelers win, the start of the weekend and check out the big holes in the ground!

  1. Honestly, it looks much better already!
    But all of this work will have been for nothing if those same shady, "undesirable" individuals are allowed to return to the park upon completion. I understand they have rights, too, but they have no right to make it their drug selling haven. Market Square NEEDS to be a place free of that distain and dangerous activity. Let's do whatever we can to make sure they do not return and that us civilized folk - who do have a work ethic - can enjoy it.
