A Parade of Dirt and Pipe

There is a lot of dirt and a lot of pipe staged on Marshall Drive near Wille (south of Oakton). So we can now see physical evidence that work has begun on the Storm Sewer improvements in our neighborhood.
Folks are very anxious for these improvements; and with the rain and subsequent flood damage this past July 24th,  there is a renewed sense of urgency.
Perhaps a meeting of 8th Ward residents may be a method for the city to hear from the community much like what is being done on Wednesday, August 18, 6:00 PM for the 
storm sewer improvements on Nelson Lane.


A note to community members reading this blog: Please post comments to this post about the flood damage you experienced this past July 24th and your thoughts about the value of a neighborhood meeting.

Storm Sewer Work on Marshall

See the Des Plaines construction blog. Looks like launch date is tomorrow Aug 12, 2010. Should we have a parade?
