nice to drive on when done? So smooth!

Way too long for just a resurface. Should've been done in the same day.  
 
Poor work IMO.. but probably because of the city not spending money on properly doing the road. Sure the road is smooth. But I guess the city didn't allow to redo the curbs.  
 
POOR workmanship!

Who pissed in your corn flakes this morning?  
 
The quality of the job has nothing to do with what the city did or did not hire them to do.  
 
Personally id rather have a smooth road surface vs pretty curbs. I agree, some parts need to be redone especially now with the higher road surface but that is something for spring next year likely.  
 
Can't please everyone in this city.

so please tell us all getty, what is your training or experience that makes you an expert in what constitutes poor workmanship...because obviously you havent a fiddlers clue what your talking about....only thing out your mouth is negative crap

Ya I would have to agree. Lets see, we could resurface and have the road closed a total of 2 days and extend its life until it really needs to be redone...OR we could totally rebuild it with new base and curbs and have it closed for weeks and spend 10 or 20 or 30 times as much money. Sure glad you aren't making these decisions for the city!

If they had taken your advice, the Food Truck Wars event would have never taken place. Let's all just pause for a minute and remember that they had to close down downtown for that event to take place, and it still got done quickly.

No you can thank Zenith Paving who actually paved the street, not city workers.

The work cannot happen in one day! There aren't enough hours in the day to get it done!! There are so many other moving parts to these operations.  
 
Congratulations to the crews on a job well done. It's not easy work and even though it's impossible to keep everyone happy, this driver is happy!  
 
And to all the road workers out there...don't let all the negative talk in these silly forums get you down. I guarantee those with all the big talk have NO idea what it takes to get the work done, all the planning that is involved and how many people and companies it takes to come together to get these jobs done. It's not easy, but you do it regardless. There will be hiccups, like any other job out there. Congrats!!

Thank you everyone that worked on it. It is fabulous!!!
