Lots of work being down on my road last 2 weeks, making drainage ditches along side the paved road. There digging up about 5 feet on each side of our road, some peoples lawn are kinda messed up just a little. But this needed to be done. They are also cutting down trees to close to the edge of the road, and cutting off overhanging limbs on other trees. Its looking pretty good to me.
If the limbs are touching the lines, only the power co can Bob. These guys won't touch those limbs. The main purpose of trimming the trees is to let the sun in, to keep the road dry after a hard rain, road has lots of damage do to heavy rain.
Their are places on my road, that the sun can't dry the road, due to overhanging limbs on both sides.
They've been working for the past year or more on the "other end" of our road that leads to the freeway, putting "roundabouts" in. They're almost finished, but I'm still not sure they're any safer than normal roads.
One thing for sure . . . we had a frog strangling gully washer late yesterday evening, and the whole length of the roundabouts were flooded! Some idiot forgot there were deep ditches on each side to take care of the water, and didn't take care of the issue.
