National Grid's paving contractor finally began work yesterday to smooth out all the rough and ugly patches of pavement on several streets which were a result of NG's other contractor, Mullen, who ripped up our streets, replaced gas pipes, then installed temporary pavement several months ago. There is a lot of work to be done by Bob Talham, Inc. of Troy -- I would say they will be busy downtown for at least two weeks, pick axes and all!
For what it's worth, the paving company Bob Talham, Inc. has a rather horrible reputation, at least online. Their Google review rating is a 1.9 stars out 5! There are a total of 12 reviews, just 3 of them positive. Of those 3, one has nothing to do with the work they do, and the other two appear to be fake reviews. National Grid hired Talham to pave our streets; DPW had no say in the matter.
