hindesky Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Now I'm not so sure if this lot is from the Washington Ave repaving job or from the Houston Endowment project. I originally thought the repaving job cause I saw new and old asphalt and lots of sewer and catch basins but the fact there is so much dirt makes me think Houston Endowment. I wish I could have asked someone. I also avoid going down that portion of Washington Ave cause they have it down to one lane. Can anyone confirm if they are removing a lot of dirt from Washington Ave? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR3985 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 They are not. This is actually from the Shepard street revamp. I see the dump trucks go back and forth every day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR3985 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 This morning there was an environmental team taking soil samples. Not sure what is going up here, but looks like there is a little momentum happening. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are piling it high and mixing lime in it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also saw the large 18 wheeler type dump trucks being loaded out. Not sure if they were loading the lime filled dirt or just taking elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucky Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 It will be interesting to see the fight that Portman has with the residents on 114 Heights to reclaim the alley that they have fenced in and claimed for their backyards. there is an alley there that looks to be developed into access to underground parking and parking spots. The residents don’t own the alley. It’s a public right of way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I don't see this starting until the road and infrastructure is done on Center St., Harvard St. and the contractor removes the dirt from the western lot, they are using it during the Shepherd St./Durham St. improvements. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
