Are The People At National Grid Feeling Well?

"Sorry, we don't have time to finish this project!"

Regular readers of Hudseen may be aware that the gas line replacement work that National Grid is "doing" in the 200 block of State Street began in mid to late May, approaching 4 months ago, and that National Grid is hardly ever actually working there anymore. This morning at 10:00, it was once again as quiet as can be near National Grid's equipment which has been in front of 217 State for at least 10 days. This situation has gone beyond ridiculous to insulting. I wonder if Robert Perry or Kamal Johnson lived in the 200 block of State Street if they would be as tolerant of this disrespectful crap from National Grid. Tolerant? More like ignorant of and ignoring.  This work was never posted on the city's website, so no one at City Hall has been paying any attention to it anyway, that's for sure.  Just the way National Grid prefers it!

Here are some of the other things National Grid has left behind for residents of the block and anyone walking or driving by there, including asphalt covering several holes in the sidewalk that National Grid dug.  Cones not in the street aren't actually doing anything helpful for anyone.  Any cones along the sidewalk were originally placed in the street.

For how many more months will these 
be left here?

These NG cones have been at the
curb of 3rd Street for at least one month,
doing absolutely nothing.  Can anyone
park there?
