WTF Is With The Chester St/Herbert St Roadwork @ 7:15am on a Sat.

Seriously WTF? Don't they have to at least wait until 8am? This is bs especially considering they didn't do squat yesterday

I called the city once complaining about this same kind of thing, and they said local noise ordinances end at 7am.

The construction day starts at 7am here, not 8am.

The fact that they are working on a Saturday indicates to me that the work may (may) be critical or important, as I believe that is automatically overtime.

Matt I wish it was. Its just standard road work. New road surface and sidewaks. No deep digging, just cosmetic.

Public works said --admittedly -- that parking was suspended for a week on Herbert st to do roadwork. but after taking off the surface of the street and taking out the sidewalk, they took 2 days off, started at 7:15 today and took off at 3pm.

They definitely got their time & a half overtime. I am sure it wasn't an accident

I really don't mind 7am during the week--most people are up or getting up for work, but on a saturday -- thats a bit much.

I did the same thing once and when they answered "7am," I involuntarily blurted out: "7am?!? What is *wrong* with you people?! ... ... uh... sorry... I mean, uh, Thank you very much. sorry about that. bye."

indeed it is -- howsomeever, there are official ways to try to get this changed, which anyone is free to pursue. get yer ducks in a row, 'cause there surely will be fallout from any such effort...

They must have a contractor going around and chipping all the streets that need chipping in one go. They did mine on Wednesday? Thursday?, and I've noticed a couple of others in W Somerville that have been done.

One of the few times being badly hard of hearing is a Win-- I slept through it.
