We Are Going To Need More Than God To Help Us

Two weeks!

The repaving of upper Columbia Street from the triangle down the hill to Green Street was completed almost exactly two weeks ago. The work, done by Colarusso, was part of this year's CHIPs repaving project that is using over $600,000 in NY State DOT funds and is still unfinished. (The 900 block of Columbia Street is wrapping up today, while the 500 block of Washington Street, Lake Street and Franklin Street will be next and last.)

Today, J&R Contracting was brought in to dig up the street surrounding a manhole cover near the CMH emergency entrance.  A pavement saw was used to cut what looked to be a 5' x 5' square into the freshly installed, smooth asphalt.  Presumably, this is a sewer-related issue, which means DPW called in J&R to dig up the street to get at an issue below.

J&R Contracting's motto, seen on their vehicles and on the sign on their building on Route 66 in Greenport, is IN GOD WE TRUST.
