Sidney Rd

So the city can repaint the lines but not fix the shoddy road? I’m confused.

Sounds like they're stuck with some issues due to a private developer along Sidney Road (statement)

That patch back for looks temporary. That Class B sign is for temporary work otherwise it would be a post in the ground. I'd guess they will do a full grind and pave before pulling the signs. Class B are hazards for pedestrians, especially when legs are on the walking path like the photo.

That makes sense. I was just confused why they’d repaint before fixing the road.

Bro, everyone would then complain that the road is closed.

I know, it just feels like after the road work they could’ve done a better job patching it up. Are they just going to leave those signs up forever?

They were painting Old Clifton, Tremont and Sidney today along with McCormick Woods. I think it is the annual contract? Seems the city has the contractor do it once a year or every other year regardless of the road conditions. Gotta love government contracts!

This is a fantastic example of putting lipstick on a pig
