Aurora Street Sanitary Sewer Construction Project 2006 Comment from credfie1 on 10/02/06
Of course they are behind schedule and it only adds to my complete frustration with the town of Ithaca. Living on Pleasant St. has been horrible so far this semester due to the construction on Turner Pl. now it takes an additional 15 minutes to get home from anywhere with the detours, not to mention all the extra traffic on, as the DPW person I spoke with stated, the worst hill in Ithaca(Pleasant St.). It makes me wonder why these projects were started in September rather than July or August but anyway...drive with caution, I hope to not see anymore accidents on the street.
