Construction in the neighbourhood

Sorry folks, but I've been away for a few days of retreat, and then been attending some pretty interesting meetings this week.  Finally there's a bit of time to get caught up with the goings on in the neighbourhood.

A few weeks ago, I first met with a project manager from the local hydro company.  They are considering doing some re-wiring in the area, and since there are other construction projects also taking place right now, they figure that they may as well get into the fray.


Pictured above are the first signs that progress with this phase of the construction is truly being made.  The sidewalk that runs along the west side of the church property is now dotted with these red posts, indicating where the new light standards will be installed.

Once it's done, all the overhead wiring will be concealed in the culvert that is also open at the present moment (you can perhaps make out some of the construction equipment in the distance above), the old wooden light standards will be removed and replaced with more modern black poles, each sporting new lighting technology.

Can't wait to see it once it's all done.
