“I want to know who turned off the early spring setting on mother nature’s weather controls LOL 🥶”John: I think we can safely blame the City Council/Mayor/Streets Dept./Amazon for this. Throw the bums out! ;)

You’ve been taken in by False Spring, lad!

Snow was sticking on roads in Arbor Heights. Be safe out there on this Twosday!

I saw a Concrete Pumping and Concrete Truck this AM working a development near my home. It’s time to think outside the box and let the WSB Bridge Contractor obtain Concrete from other sources.

Unfortunately for your idea (and fortunately for organized labor): that isn’t how labor contracts work.

  And the Contract they have now is WORKING???
K February 22, 2022 (9:36 am)

If they’re pouring concrete this morning, that’s below recommended temperatures and the resulting pour will be weaker. This is why the armchair engineers in the WSB comments page are not in charge of bridge repairs.

S Roit February 22, 2022 (8:13 am)

Snowing lightly as I speak. Weather apps don’t even mention snow right now. 😂

Mj February 22, 2022 (11:07 am)

Brian – it is unfortunate for the 100,000+ people a day that would benefit by keeping the WSB Bridge repair on schedule!

WSJoy February 22, 2022 (11:46 am)

700th morning!!! Why do I suspect we’ll hit 1,000?

MJ, The City Already hires out cheap labor as it is let’s not make it worse. Google when they did the original WS Bridge and who they hired for the Cement then. Talk about a S S this is going to be now that there is a Cement Truck Strike. It is not the workers themselves that are on strike it is Drivers Union 174.
