This just in from City Hall:
The City, along with outside engineers, has identified the cause of the large crack in the road on Harry Howard Avenue near Underhill, and the issue has been remedied. Excavation will begin next week once utility location is complete, after which DPW will do subterranean work and lay the road's subbase. Final paving will commence at the end of April. Weather permitting, we anticipate reopening the road by early May. In the meantime, we ask that everyone heed the road closure signs. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
To "lay the road's subbase" means compete road replacement, down feet below the surface. This is work best done by PROFESSIONALS like Colurasso and their ilk who have the skills, equipment and track record to do this difficult and time-consuming task. If a dpw laborer or two with no road replacement skills or experience get injured, Mr. Perry will have some explaining to do. DPW should stick to potholes and paving, not street replacement to the subbase. This is not the time to be training dpw laborers how to replace a street's subbase and everything above it. Pay the money to get it done right, quickly and safely.
