First Signs of Spring ... Road Construction
It's not the crocus or the grape hyacinths popping through the ground that are the first signs of spring, in my town, but the new road construction notices/barriers/detours.
On the first day of March Break, I along with my neighbours, were greeted with a flyer in our mailboxes informing us that our street would be dug up and inaccessible for street parking for the next 16 weeks. I'm lucky that I have parking in the side alley behind my house (though that has its own issues and problems) but I don't know what my neighbours, who depend on on-street parking, are going to do, during that time.
Time to put up the home made cardboard 'Private Property/Parking' sign on the wire mesh fence, I guess. Because I HAVE experienced coming home at the end of the day to find a car parked diagonally right in the middle of my parking area. They were lucky that I didn't call the tow truck on them as I had the right to.
The first of the concrete diggers and orange and black construction cones appeared today on my block.
Only 15 weeks (fingers crossed) to go.
