Casulties of the reno
When reconstructing Preston, some of the dead-end side streets (and there are many) were temporarily opened up to resident access by removing street closures or temporary easements over private properties.
The above posts are on the street closure on Elm Street. All the posts were damaged removing them from the ground in the spring. Crews reinserted the posts this fall. Neighbors will be watching to ensure they are replaced with unbroken ones in spring 2010.
These cement posts at dead end Elm St were actually damaged by snow plows and front end loaders during our never ending snow falls two winters ago. They are actually dangerous if a person were to lean against them.
