For years and years now, the intersection around First Ave. and First St./Houston St. has been torn up with construction. It's pretty bad, because it's the intersection of two major streets, a busy subway stop dumping pedestrians onto the street, and a bike lane. So I was pleasantly surprised at the beginning of the summer to see that construction was finally complete! The roads freshly paved, the bulldozers gone, the sidewalks open, the bike lane free and clear.
So of course, a week later, they were digging it all up again. The exact same spot!
This one was actually done over two or three days. Everytime I went to draw it, they would come and move it.
Fire hydrants to be installed. I'd never thought about how far underground a fire hydrant extends.
A steam roller. Why are they still called steam rollers? They don't run on steam anymore, do they?
