For the past 2 days we have had a sewer pump truck running at it's very loudest and obnoxious whine on the street just around the corner from our building.
That's one big sewer clog.
I've just been talking with my hairdresser, who works in a building on the other side of the street, and he says this is all about bike lanes. The sewer work is not being done on the road which will get the bike lane, but on the major road that crosses it at the next intersection. They are re-doing all the sidewalk edges and corners on the streets that cross the bike lane road. And that apparently includes getting rid of sewer clogs. Big sewer clogs.
So I'm thinking this is just one of those "while we're there anyway" kind of projects. The street getting the bike lane is not a busy street by any stretch of the imagination, so it's not an inconvenient thing, but one wonders if it's a necessary thing. It will mean there is a dedicated bike lane from Stanley Park up to the bike lane downtown, so it's nice for completists, but you can bike mostly on the seawall between the two points now, so it's not that necessary. So maybe the sewer pumping is a "benefit" of getting the bike lanes.
This noise went from 8am to 5:45pm yesterday. This whine of sewer pumping. They started at 8am again today... it's 2pm now, and they are still pumping. Big, Big sewer clog.
And now they've turned up the volume... maybe they grabbed the clog. Big truck, big noise. Man, that was some dump someone took. You knew the discussion had to go there sometime. And now the noise has gone down again. And up again. And.... and... off?
Yes! Songs of celebration! Choirs singing praises and classical music!
That was one big sewer clog.
