Preston reconstruction is almost complete. Final details are going in … like the traffic loops.

The loop shown above is going to be installed right outside May’s Chinese Restaurant at the corner of Somerset and Preston.

Except … on August 3rd Somerset is going to be dug up big time for the same treatment as Preston got for the last few years: new pipes, utilities, and protected parking bays. Guess what — the spot shown above will be getting a six foot or so wider sidewalk. And four trees.

Will the city get the wiring installed in enough time to get it torn out in August? Or will they be so slow the installation crews will arrive to find the road already gone??  Stay tuned for the great race…
