This La Grange Resident has had an experience of the bluff construction project that is up close and personal. Having the work happen right next to where you reside certainly gives one a perspective.
What does it take to build a new road? Well, it takes lots of guys, lots of trucks, and lots of other very large construction equipment. It takes a lot of dirt, gravel and a ton or two of cement. There is the very early morning noise, the ever present fine white dust and the major tremors that shake the entire house.
Let’s not forget the displacement of vehicles from one’s driveway or the parking tickets from the Village of La Grange. The Village drops off wonderful weekly updates in the mailboxes of residents near the six million dollar road project. These notes have included a mention of leniency for street parking in the area that seemingly they have not shared with the local police. This resident has had five tickets left on her car since the construction began.
We were all given one day notice to a water main shut off. We had no water for an entire day, and had a boil alert for 48 hours following. This work at home resident hiked up to Blueberry Hill to urinate as needed.
So far the construction project is on schedule.
