Peoples Gas Wrecking Shop in RP

Peoples Gas has a huge project ongoing where gas mains are being replaced all over the city. While I am all for infrastructure improvement, I have my fears about PG's ability to fix all of the sidewalks and landscaping that they are ripping out on the back end of these projects. I spend a lot of time cleaning up our parkway and courtyard, and they have already ripped out a few bushes and burried bulbs to only replace with SAND. Yes, beautiful and impossible-to-cultivate in SAND. I've learned that they will be trenching through our courtyard as well, and I'm hoping this is only a rumor. PG probably wants to get in, drop the main, and get out as quick as possible. That means all the work some of us do keeping our yards nice and our plants happy will be suffering a big setback with this disruption.

Here's a map of the work affecting RP:

  1. Yeah, based on the spray painted lines in the courtyard, I assume they're going to go to town on the grass there any day now. Not looking forward to that. We both know what's going to happen, they'll fill it with sand "temporarily" and then totally forget about it. You owners will be chasing after them for years to come back and replace it with dirt.
