    Is there any info about the construction going on at Avalon & Genessee? They’re ripping up the pavement in the intersection and they have Genessee closed between 32nd & Avalon. There wasn’t any notice to the neighbors in affected in the area.

      What do the vehicles involved say? Private contractor? SDOT? Utility? Were there no-parking signs before the crews showed up?

        Update, someone who emailed us says it’s apparently PSE work.

Sorry, comment time is over.
