So far they have broken their own gas lines while trying to fix others, broke two or three water mains, and screwed up in ground electrical infrastructure already laid down for the streetscape project.
I had a (former South Street) friend in town over the weekend and they actually commented how sad the strip looked ... between the wild west motif of dust, dirt and wooden planks to enter the stores - to the ramshackle look of the street - each block filled with a mix of vacancies and/or reconstructions (Phila-deli) ... he commented how its like they decided to just tear everything apart all at once.

I said 'if only that was the reason, I'd have a bit more hope'

now, after hearing about the 4/south debacle ...totally frustrating indeed.
