Feeling Revitalized Yet? Feeling IMPROVED? What Year Is It?

Yesterday morning, I came across one Luizzi worker creating a lot of noise and dust on North Front Street while doing his best to improve the ill-advised decorative stones along the sidewalk that Luizzi left us last year and that the city found to be unacceptable early this year. It's entirely possible that he was one of Luizzi's many workers doing shoddy stonework on Front Street and elsewhere last year as part of the multi-million-dollar DRI project on the city's west end that supposedly wrapped up a year and a few days ago.

This nearly two-year-old sign essentially says:
ROB PERRY WAS NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT  
 LUIZZI WAS DOING LAST YEAR, AND HE STILL ISN'T!

One worker, no supervision.  The water hose stretched 
across the street to the yard of the house at the 
 corner of Front & Warren.

Two or three weeks ago, a much larger Luizzi crew finished that same type of stonework on the four ill-advised "plazas" at 2nd & Warren (where things look no different than a year ago to me).  Except that someone (likely DPW) still hasn't secured two of the intersection's four public trash cans to the base supports that were installed less than a week ago in the middle of the plazas on the south side of the intersection.  (The tall cone in the picture is covering a support.)  Two out of four ain't bad, I guess.  

That trash can has been there for at least 4 weeks!  City 
Hall is not pedestrian-friendly, even with Joe Ferris presiding.

Yesterday, while biking past those plazas (which have made the intersection tighter and MORE dangerous than it already was), I watched a local drag the unsecured heavy trash can off of the plaza in front of the bodega to the corner of the store so that he could sit on it with his back against the wall IN THE SHADE.  Why not!

By today, the can was back on the wonderful plaza
where it belongs, waiting for DPW.

Stupid shit always happens when you don't pay attention.  You tend to waste time and money, too!
