For the past several weeks, we’ve been seeing a lot of
cherry-picker trucks and linemen in our neighborhood. No matter which way we
turn, workers are blocking the way, diverting traffic or otherwise slowing things
down. Greg finally walked over to one of the linemen last week to find out
what’s going on, and apparently Centurylink is finally putting fiber optics in the
area.
Coming home from a meeting this morning, I saw this crew at
work on the Northeast 82nd block of Fifth Northeast – and a parking
spot on the cross street with an almost perfect view. Whenever these crews are
in the way, they seem to take a long, long time, but today, while I was
frantically trying to finish this sketch, they worked remarkably fast! Too
fast, in fact, for me to get the details on the truck.
Oh, well – at least you heard it here first: Fiber optics is
coming to Maple Leaf!
Next time they hold up your journey, you need to grab your sketchbook, that'll speed them up, lol.
ReplyDeleteLove your sketch of the guys working.
I love how when you want them to stick around for a while they get going. lol Nice sketch of the action.
