Summer Construction Questioned

Many people have questioned the wisdom of the Public Works Dept for scheduling construction during June and July.......this photo was taken at 2:30 pm on Saturday......the scene is not exactly appealing to tourists.....the same can be seen on  Second  St by the Schooner and on Olsen Rd.......

  On the other hand many people are happy to see the pavement repaired on Main St.

  There are restrictions put in place by Fisheries and Oceans for work being performed in the tidal zone but the work on First St has been dragging on.As far as I know the Fisheries restrictions only applied to the storm drain outfall on Olsen Rd.........Having an excavator and barricades right in front of your business in the middle of summer makes it hard to attract customers.......Let's hope that in the future such work is done in the shoulder seasons...............
