A handy video for the city’s public works department

1. They must be doing this for publicity.

2. Or as a ‘lunch break’ hobby.

3. Probably just using left-overs. Frugality – and you gripe.

4. Kinda figured that Ruf, so are ‘leftovers’ not measurable? I suppose the city would have to hire a cubic yard specialist to measure the leftovers, so that would cost us more.

5. BTW, the hole is finally filled, wondering how many days it will take them to pickup the baricades.

6. Just be happy you live in Sioux Falls. I’ve lived in small towns where a hole like that would be filled with gravel for at least a year.

   Eventually they would dump a bit of hot mix into it when they were repaving a few streets across town, and then they would drive over it with the dump truck a few times to pack it down (steamrollers and compactors are far too expensive). The end result would be a rough patch that feels like you are driving over railroad tracks every time you pass over it.

   In comparison, a flat, neat patch is pretty slick. In a few years after they chip-seal that road you’d never know it was even there.

7. Would agree, it looks great. It only took 4 months and 1 week to Git R’ Down.

8. ‘Done’
