FWIW, I didn’t see any sign of construction at Roxbury & 8th Ave when I went past around 8:30. Although truthfully I wasn’t looking very hard. On a more positive note, it looks like they’re getting going on some of the delayed Rapidride H project. There were workers and equipment at the 26th/Roxbury bus stop which has had its sidewalk torn up for so long. Hoping it (and the other affected spots) are fixed up soon!
