Sinkhole Update


I present to you: the new and improved sinkhole. The sister of Ice Queen declares, "That should fix it! Another engineering triumph!"

I wonder if the city's $35M pothole/sinkhole outsourcing will include this one. Oh, and this morning, I saw 5 Dept of Transportation orange clad workers about to embark on repainting white lines on my street. The white line painting apparatus isn't that big. Looks like a 2 person job to me; 1 person to push the thing, and 1 person to make sure that person doesn't run into a car. So, what were the other 3 guys there for?

Today, I am a good citizen.




This is the sinkhole just south of Trader Joe's that I reported to 311.

Not as exciting as the sinkhole that ate the tree and car this past winter.

I wonder how much poking I'd have to do before that chunk of street fell into whatever there is underneath?
