PC I think that money was part of the bond issue for the CSO. But I appreciate your cyncicsm! It makes sense to me, no sense digging up a newly paved road when a new underground main settles and breaks.
IMO Someone needs to tell Campanini this info. He’s always complaining about money going to pay salaries and not being used for roads, sidewalks, etc.
I’m not sure, but at least the Plain/Chelmsford and Industrial Ave stuff should be done faster than Gorham St. There isn’t much underground work there. The work around the Lowe’s project has made major progress very quickly. Actually pretty impressive.

I love CSO separation. The treatment plant will stink less.
I love Lowe’s. Much better than Home Depot.
I love Target. Much better than Wal-Mart.
I can grok skepticism, P.C., but you have to admit: the bin rollout has gone better than you ever dreamed it would.

I wonder if you’ll catch any trouble for calling Gorham Street “South Lowell.” That used to mean the area east of the river only.

I don’t believe a word of it. I live on Blossom St, and it’s brutal and expensive (had to fix the car 3 times recently because of damage to suspension). I’ve lived elsewhere, and it’s not like that elsewhere? When will the cobbles excuse come up?
