Letters to the Editor

We were excited when our street was selected to be repaired and repaved but little did we realize how long it would take. Before repairs could begin, PG&E had to inspect their poles and lines. Then all of the underground utilities had to be located and marked: the water lines, the sewer lines, the drainage culverts, the gas mains and the electric lines.

Next came the Bay Cities prep team to dig out the bad pot holes and prep them. Then after all this was done, in came the tree trimmers to make sure that the large equipment could work on the road with proper clearance.

Finally we thought we would see some real road repair action. But one neighbor refused to have their tree trimmed. That took two more weeks to resolve. Now we are ready for our new street which will take 10 clear weather days for a full depth reclamation (FDR). Guess what - here come our badly needed rains. Yes, we are waiting, but it will all be worthwhile in the long run because we voted "yes" for new roads in Orinda.
