All Quiet on the Western Front

Last week Mayor Scalera predicted that the new surface on the haul road through South Bay would be “as hard as concrete” in a couple days, and there was concern in some quarters that, with or without site plan approval from the Planning Commission and all the other approvals needed to run gravel trucks through a sensitive wetland, O&G might start sending their dump trucks along that route. But this morning, except for an idling CSX train, all was quiet at the waterfront. There's an already loaded barge at the dock, and until that gets towed out and an empty one towed in, we won't know for sure which route the gravel trucks will take.
