i guess i will keep complaining RE: the mill river work?

This is supposed to be the city that works,
a few weeks ago I spoke of a halt on the project to put a carousel in the park because they had to knock down the older cherry trees.
The city dutifully put signs on the tress slated for removal, which no one could read because they were behind the construction fence.
The allotted time must of passed because there was a flurry of activity and the two trees were taken down...
there is one left standing.

After that activity, all work has stopped again...it had been a week since the trees were removed and all associated debris removed and all is quite...i took these pictures in the middle of the day and they were not on lunch.
Today i go by and there is still NO activity.





Ah the city that works or NOT?

I will continue my complaint, for every place needs to leave some space for pedestrians, but not these people and it will remain like this for another year or more the way they are working.

Now, i need to quickly point out the really, really good work that they have done...this stream used to be a stagnant pool...i tested those waters and they were awful and what they did with the Mill River is wonderful...so they need to take the bad, with the good.

Mill River Park - Revisited

Recent articles talked of plantings that dies due to lack of water.
 Well of course they had some die off, it was a hot and dry summer and the plantings occurred in late spring, after the flooding, but the native weeds grew and grew well and they are what clean up toxic messes best.
I saw the company involved the other day, putting in more planting.
This time they got the best time, the fall.
I talked to them and they said at most, they lost 10%, most down stream.
I thought about this and realized most of the sludge from the pond. loaded with H2S, would have traveled down stream and effected the lower planting the most.
All is well and things will get better.
